Unless they continue this terrible play I can’t see it happening in season but absolutely a big contract NEEDS to be traded. Mostly likely Marner (Tavares NMC, Nylander has taken his game to a new level, Matthews no chance he is going unless he walks). The flat cap has changed everything for this team. It’s a freaking crap shoot every year trying to find that million dollar player that can overachieve in this roster. Too many guys have walked or traded because they can’t fit into the cap. It’s a different world now, Dubas and Co need to adapt.
Its still possible to see a Kerfoot or Mikheyev (salary needs to go out if you are bringing in a player) trade this season to try a bolster the lineup. But it’s not happening anytime soon, this current roster and really the STARS of this team need it figure it out fast.
