Would struggle to pay gavi an extension after this season but people will still say this team isn't a playoff team, which is crazy talk. This team is insane if Elvis can hold up

yeah you would likely be looking at a Voracek dump down the line. Peeke will also be due for a raise

That said, the Chychrun money balances itself out pretty well within that trade package so the extensions could be an issue regardless

could probs keep peeke for cheap, like a 2-3yrs x 2-2.5 mil. Gavi probs would want a long term contract at 4.5-5mil

Yeah definitely lose Voracek next year, I'm think he's even redundant this year with Johnny. Pay Gavvy with that money. and bank the savings for the young F extensions.

Not particularly concerned about keeping Peeke. It might not be time for the young RD yet but Ceulemans and Jiricek could conceivably be on the roster. If not, Blankenburg should be able to handle minutes. Gudbranson makes it a bit tough because he's terrible at exiting the zone which doesn't help shelter a young D. Maybe he just plays next to Z who is a zone exit robot.

Likely lose Roslovic to pay for Marchenko, Johnson and Sillinger (unless he is much better and they are still uncertain). Likely lose Chychrun as Mateychuk, Jiricek and Ceulemans become full time players unless we're getting Tampa sweetheart contracts. I think the timeline works out well here and we'd have an absolutely absurd D corps.

Personally. I think we should use the assets to find some defensively responsible but still talented Cs (Eriksson-Ek, Danault, Cirelli types would be top of the line) to surround Sillinger and give him time to play onto the top line or at least into a 1b situation. I would trade a significant portion of the farm for Anton Lundell.
