Mini ACGM here:
Sign Pinto to 4.5Mish x 8.
Sign Carrier (or Martinook or Trenin) 2.25x3.
Trade Chychrun to WSH for: Nic Dowd, 2024 1st round pick.
Send WSH a 3rd for TVR.
Trade Brannstrom to Carolina for Jesper Fast.
Draft 2RD and 1 FWD with 3 top 40 picks in 2024 draft. (And Celebrini of course)
Don't pull a Dorion and DO NOT go big game hunting trying to land a superstar goalie. Sign 2 decent goalies to reasonable, short term deals in UFA knowing the 2025-26 UFA goalie class is loaded. Stolarz and Brossoit are top 2 options.
Buyout Korpisalo
Trade Forsberg anywhere with like a 3rd or 4th. (or last case scenario keep him as one of the goalies and bank he will return to his form from a couple of years ago before the MCL's were destroyed).
Resign Parker Kelly to league min for 1 year.
Sign Tanev to like 4.5-5M x 2 years (or maybe 3 if it's necessary to bring him here and lowers the price). (DeMelo would also work but I doubt he hits the market. If we can't get one of them were in trouble.

Pretty sure we have the cap to do something like this.
