so you get rid of Raymond to get some cap space... and then don't use the cap space??

That's for part two

Throw Larkin.
We need a team of pure ELCs.

This is why lol

😐

Why in the world would Detroit need more cap space when they have $30 million to spend on 8 open roster slots and no significant RFA deals to pay for, now that Larkin's new contract has been signed?

They can afford to trade for David Pastrnak and sign 7 more players to an AAV contract of $2 million.

Dumping Lucas Raymond to save cap space is the epitome of idiocy.

100%. Trading Chiarot now makes zero sense. Unless somebody wants to trade for him (which is not happening). Chiarot is not here to be a Elite defenseman, but we need good leaders on a young team. Take Chiarot out of this team and we are getting bullied. Maybe we trade Chiarot in a year or two, but right now we have no need to that.

Ben Chiarot is a middle weight. In part two I sign Matthew Olivier to a offer sheet.
