Salary Cap Mode: Basic

It wasn't easy to understand Lankinen's signing, but I here is my version of reasons of such move:
1) In my opinion right now we have only 3 teams, that potentially need backup goalie:
-Oilers
-Flyers
-Coyotes
2) There is no reason to have Saros, Lankinen, Ingram, Askarov, Cooley and Vomacka at the same time. To much waste of talent.
3) Cooley and Vomacka likely has no value. Saros is truly untouchable.
So, after that seems like signing Lankinen should lead into trade one of - Askarov (god, please, no!) or Ingram (very unfortunate, I like him).
4) Askarov trade can happen even not to one of those 3 teams, that I mentioned earlier. But I do not wanna thinking about such scenario.
5) So let's talk about possible Ingram trades (from most likely to "em, what?").

5.1) EDM
Puljujärvi
in exchange for
Ingram + 2023 3rd + Campbell
--Most possible and realistic scenario, NSH likes Finn's, likes young "promising" big forwards. Rumors that Nashville's interesting in Puljujärvi also add additional believe in such scenario.

5.2) PHI
JVR(50% retained)
in exchange for
Ingram

5.3) ARZ
Crouse
in exchange for
Ingram + Evangelista

5.4) PHI
Konecny
in exchange for
Ingram + 2023 2nd + Evangelista
