Not awful, but I would go with 1 year instead of 2 for Vanek because I would like the Kings to keep their cap unless something great comes along. I'd rather they don't spend their cap if they don't have to.

or maybe less money?

For Vanek, it's about term. Nothing more than 2 years. We have to keep the window open to resign Doughty.

I think that Clifford or Nolan are moved...if not both of them. I think Blake will want about 3 mil available at the deadline, just in case he has to make a move.

this is for before the season, this does not include any in-season trades ... most teams are done before the start of the season.

pretty bad
