I like the team, but I just don't think there's enough money to go around.
First, you need to bump Lehkhonen up a bit, his QO is 2.2m.
I also don't see St. Louis taking Byron. If you replace him with Brook in that deal, they'd probably take it. If we assume Byron gets moved in another deal for a draft pick, and Kulak walks at the end of the season, that leaves you around $5m to sign Suzuki, Patrick, Evans and Romanov.
Have to sacrifice a bit to free up at least a couple million more in cap space and then it might be a gamble on signing Caufield the next year. Also worth keeping in mind that the Habs have 4 NCAA prospects that could potentially sign at the end of their season and they may want the cap space to give at least one of them some NHL time.
Wonder if we can convince Price to go on LTIR until the playoffs...
