Team: 2024-25 Detroit Red Wings

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 23, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

This is two years from now. I would guess the cap will be up more than 2 mil but I only bummed it up 2 to play it safe.

With all the young depth players we have in the system that could be ready to step into the lineup on the league minimum this could definitely work.

Even with those two the team would need another big talent on the wing assuming bert gets traded this year. I doubt the wings would add Kuzmenko but just picked him to see if it would work with another good talent.

I am also assuming Hronek would be gone as part of a package to land Bo. So we would need another top 4 rd, Severson would be 29 and I gave him a slight pay bump, but not sure what he would get Doesn't have to be Severson but needs to be a top 4 righty for 5mil or less.

I also didn't resign Perron because he will be 36, also didn't resign Kub because i think someone who is a little more defensively reliable is required in the bottom 6 of course he may prove to be a top 6 and get a new contract.

I would be a bit worried about this defense line up but I do think Edvinsson, Johansson, Sebrango, Viro, and Wallinder could all be ready for the NHL in 2 years. Depending how good Edvinsson turns out to be he could be looking for a big contract after this season and fabri's contract would be up and Chariot's would have one year left which means either he will go LTIR retired or could be a cap trade to Arizona. If the young guys really look ready you could trade maatta.
