Okey i understand. You’re running a 20 player roster then, right?

This all said I think us getting Henrique as a rental is much more likely than mittelstadt. I’ve got no clue what their plan is beyond this season unless their hope is Ritchie is ready next season

No I was able to fit in 21. Signed Tyler motte Freddie olofsson Calvin de haan Caleb jones and Chris Driedger while bringing up kovalenko come deadline they probably want a 3rd pair d and 4c which with retention shouldn’t be to hard to get. Girard would also bring back a 1st and a prospect I think especially being on pace for 40 points on pp2. Would suck ass to lose him but it makes sense

Had to try it, and yes there is 28K left with a 21 man roster filled with league minimum. So yeah, theoretically it’s possible. But will be kinda hard to manage call ups and injuries..

The following year you will lose Lehky, Manson, LOC and Kovalenko in addition of Girard the prior year and they will all be replaced by league minimum. So sure, it’s doable but it seems kinda unlikely to tear up the roster like that? All for a 2C (that we dont even know is a great fit). Really not the way of handling business the FO has shown previously.
