I agree what you. Tear down and find a GM that can use the new found cap effectively.

Yup, use it to take on cap dumps or when a noteworthy FA is available and he can conceivably sign here. Like Rodrigues as a buy low candidate.

Like your thought process here......

My only critique is Konecny isn't likely a fit for the Jets. Ehlers is set to return in a few weeks, giving them a very strong top 6.

The value is pretty bang on (and maybe you do better with the right team?) given his contract isn't horrible and he can certainly produce.

Since you have this cap space, I might spit ball here and suggest the Islanders...... Konecny for a 1st, a 3rd say a Josh Bailey and a solid prospect. That isn't Lou's M.O. but I also see a need for a top 6 winger there. Aging core etc.

Or maybe Nashville? Eating a couple years on Johansson isn't ideal, but I wonder if Poile sees value in that given the scoring woes. Konecny to the Preds for a 1st, 3rd, either Pärssinen or Tolvanen and Johansson?

Doing what you are doing, I see a great opportunity to weaponize cap space to better a return, and jump start a rebuild.

They really gotta go hunting for 2023 picks, not 2024. Would also prefer to see Provorov moved over DeAngelo

DeAngelo could always walk in FA, as he’d have one year left in this scenario.
