Salary Cap Mode: Basic

This is me taking a shot at some deals floating around that I like. Making all 5 of these deals would never happen, but the team looks really good.

Moving on from Nuge in Edmonton would allow them to potentially spend big on a goalie or maybe Petro, and give them some great young assets that they can either keep or flip for something else.

The core 4 guys in Toronto aren't working out, so moving on from Willy and bringing in a different style of player in Bert would be a good way to shake things up without making the team worse. Lindstrom would make up the difference between Bert and Willy.

Turris has an awful contract, and Nielsen is way easier to buy out. Maybe Turris could revitalize his career in Detroit. Nuge-Turris-Mantha would work really well as a line imo. If Turris isnt playing well Nuge can shift over to C and Fabbri can be bumped to the 2nd line.

Georgiev is the odd man out in New York as of now, so unless Hank retires, he should be moved. Trading Staal allows them to resign Strome and ADA, and the Rangers still get a pick.

Tampa trades Serg but gets a great young asset with the 4th overall pick, and it allows them to resign Cernak and Cirelli. All 3 Tampa RFAs are prime offer sheet candidates, so getting the 4th OA for Serg instead of a late 1st, 2nd, and 3rd is much more ideal. Stevie Y has to dip into the Tampa talent pool he accumulated at some point lol.

None of these trades are rock solid and any input or minor adjustments are welcome.
