Team: 2023-24 Dallas Stars

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 29, 2023

Published: Feb. 3, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

From what I‘m reading, a 2nd plus a solid prospect would be enough for Tanev. I‘m not really sure that‘s accurate, but I‘m going for it and the 4th for the Salary retention. I even dump Hakanpää with a 5th since CGY needs someone on the D to play.

Then adding Pesce for a 1st plus two solid prospects and the 3rd for the retained salary. I‘m not saying CAR or CGY will retain, there may be a third party involved.

Its difficult to see, anyone of CAR or CGY would make this trade without Bourque or Stankoven as a return. But since its a big probability that both players will be traded at the deadline because of their UFA-status, I went for it.

Faksa is dealt to anyone who takes him. His strengths will be missed, but his cap-hit has to go.

I know its highly unrealistic, but one can dream. With this line-up, they‘re stacked from top to bottom. They can rest Suter or Lundkvist every other night. Biggest weaknesses eliminated.

Dallas empties the cupboard, but after a buyout of Suter in the summer, I could see a contract for Pesce @ say 6M over 8 years.
