Description

Maybe Delia, Lankinen or Subban show they're a Goalie #1 and are a cheap future option. Maybe Zadorov is Boqvist's perfect partner. Maybe keeping De Haan works out and he plays well this year after showing flashes last year before getting hurt. Maybe we finally get out of cap hell and have some cap space to work with next summer. Maybe Seabrook said this is his last year then he's retiring or going on LTIR and Bowman is planning for even more cap space. We're going to need to pay Dach and could use some cap, same with boqvist and other youngins. We weren't winning a cup with that roster so who knows. Maybe Zadorov is a good top 4 d-man for us. Maybe Nylander can find a fit on the roster (lol). God knows we'll probably sign saad again next summer. A lot of flexibility coming as besides seabs 4 yr deal, longest contract on roster is 3 years
