Initial Creation Date: Jul. 25, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

If Sheary is getting $4m or more I move him and I just like these players from NJ.
Santini is a RH Dman prospect who's played half a season in the NHL. He might make the roster as 7th or spend time in the AHL before call up, before the end of this season.

Blandisi is young forward with tenacity and some talent. Scored well in Jrs and AHL, I think he can provide some net front and skate with any line. I don't know he makes the roster over Sprong, and the gang. I just left him up because I traded for him.

I included Pouliot to make the pill of trading Santini a little easier.

Lowry for 3rd and PK center, and net front on the 2nd PP, but maybe promoted to first PP when/if Hornqvist goes. He's a big guy and uses it.

Dano seems to have a great offensive tool set. He's bounced around but might find a home in PIT, and perhaps next to Crosby, or maybe across from Kessel.

Haula can be C or W. He slides in for any center that gets injured. He's put up decent points for the type of mins he got in MIN and also defensively solid and should PK in Hagelin spot.

Merrill as is 25 yr old former college D who's just cracked barely an NHL regular, though has a bunch of potential. I think he could be another Dumoulin or Schultz or Cole for the Pens. Hunwick can slot in at Santini's spot (until he's ready to take it) and Merrill at Hunwicks.
