Rebuild - next season

Created by: KubaH
Team: 2021-22 Nashville Predators
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 11, 2021
Published: Mar. 11, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Players protected at the expansion draft:

Saros
Josi
Ellis
Fabbro
Forsberg
Arvidsson
Jarnkrok
DeBrusk
Kunin
Sissons
Pitlick

Taken by Seattle: Trenin


Line combination:
The top 6 forwards are set. There could be more combinations, like Tolvanen in the first line, but I'd start as it is bellow. The bottom 6 was more challenging. I really like Jarnkrok, he is great defensively, and in a line with Sissons and Kunin, they could be used as a matchup line. That left me with Tomasino on the 4th line, which isn't great... I think the best for him would be to travel a lot between AHL and NHL, playing top line minutes in the minors and bottom 6 minutes in the NHL, with some PP time.

After 2021/22 season, I would extend Forsberg and ideally Jarnkrok as well, but trade Grimaldi, Cousins and one of Boro/Benning at the deadline.

          Nashville should try to move Cousins as well

          Bruins add a fourth but don’t retain. Still a deal?

          Rinne will definitely get paid more than that. Probably 2x more and I think that's too much for the Bruins to give up for Ekholm.

          For the lineup, I'd just swap Sissons and tomasino. Start Tomasino out at 3C with Kunin and Jarnkrok. Sissons and Cousins provide stability for Pitlick

          Under this scenario they'd have plenty of room for Rinne getting paid more.

          As for the Ekholm trade, Debrusk + 1st + 2 years of a cap dump (Moore) for Ekholm seems fair to me but it's probably dependent on how highly you think of DeBrusk.

          Leafs say yes but, you guys might have to retain 50%

          Yes, that's likely. I didn't include it, it wasn't important, I was more focused on next season
