We can probably get a 2nd for Zadorov

Sorry, but in this cap environment, you just don't unload a $5m cap hit for free. Hawks decline.

Trades aren’t really real in this one fellas

I just wanted to mess around with a different roster

Zadorov, Dumba and Bear would be nice additions to the defense and it can't hurt to sign Puljujarvi.

I wonder if they'll simply buy Jakob out.

He could be just left here as our 13th forward

I feel like signing Bear and just having him on IR so he is making his money could be a solid move

Puljujarvi is out a chunk of the year for double hip surgery. I think Silf is a fine bottom 6 RW skill wise, he's just paid way too much to be a bottom 6 forward. I'd just ride his deal out, there's really no reason to buy him out.

I really don't know what we're doing with defense. The butcher is on his best days a 2nd pairing D, so if we don't get Dumba, I assume Drysdale gets 1st pairing. That probably means a Fowler Drysdale pairing which you all know I have my reasons for not being wild about.
