Team: 2022-23 Dallas Stars

Initial Creation Date: Nov. 29, 2022

Published: Nov. 29, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Stars upgrade on Gurianov at 2RW, hopefully getting that second line producing. That depth makes them scary. Panthers mail in this season, it isn't working and free up some space to take Duclair of IR. (If they send down to entry level contracts ie both Staals they save about 2 million)

Gurianov and Harley don't fit in the Stars system and need a change of scenery. As much as I like Harley he just isn't playing right now and we are going to kill his development. Florida needs a replacement for Weegar in the future, and have no projectable D prospects. Harley helps fill that void to some extent. Faksa while on a bad contract is an upgrade on Staal at 4C. Florida badly needs some kind of draft capital as they currently don't have a first round pick for the next 3 years. Dallas already has some prospects coming up so can survive without drafting in the first round 2 years in a row.

Stars replace and upgrade on Faksa with Motte by giving up Stranges who doesn't fit into our clogged center postion for the future. Recoup some assets to make up for our lack of first round picks while doing so. I am not entirely sure Motte's trade value so maybe remove the 3rd and Ottawa's second.


Dump Khudobin with a 2nd to make the cap work

Assuming Pavelski takes a pay cut to about 3 mill next year (or he is replaced by Borque, Stankoven or Johnston) they still have the cap next year to run it back, even if the cap only increases by 1 mill.
