I like the idea but I feel we could simplify things a bit
For starters I was thinking we should explore a Vanacek trade
Washington will probs want to bring in an experienced backup for Samsonov and so Vanacek is probs gone. Toronto could swing a deal for him and he could be the tandem with Campbell
Mrazek might be traded with some assets but I feel buyout is more realistic.
But as for the bottom 6 I dont know. I want more offense from them. Robertson could have a breakout year but I want to add a piece or two that can help provide some offense especially in the playoffs as while Mikheyev-Kampf-Engvall was good defensively kind of were quiet offensively. I would say give Sandin and Engvall cheaper bridge deals (2 years as Brodie and Muzzin off the books by then) and use the extra space to bring in someone like Vatrano or Athinoseau
Or in other words
In:
Vanecek, Lazar, and one of Athinoseau or Vatrano
Out:
Kerfoot, Mrazek, Holl
As rn the team I have been working on is
Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Robertson-Tavares-Nylander
Athanasiou-Kampf-Kase
Spezza -Lazar-Anderson
Campbell
Vanecek
Extras: Dahlstrom, Simmonds.
