Description

Realistically trying to rebuild without tanking.
Predicting Helm will be selected in the expansion draft. Alternative might be Green.
I don't think Wings will be able to trade Howard for a reasonable return.
Trade Nyquist to a contender with cap space for a pick(s) or prospects.
Do not re-sign Smith. Hopefully he will be traded before the deadline.
Do not re-sign 4th line players.
Fill roster spots with youth or 1 year contract UFAs.

Not bad. Still need to either buyout Ericsson or LTIR Kronner. If they are in the lineup next couple of years the rebuild will be stalled
