Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

The trades are just trades and not what I actually think the returns are gonna be. I don't agree with Yamamoto being flipped at 50% retained because that removes one of our retention slots for the TDL (which is where I think Monahan would get moved if he were to come back)

This also has Slaf in the top 6 which I think is where he should be. However, he needs to earn it at training camp, if its not earned, he should go to Laval and work on his game. The lines would then shuffle with every LW going up a line (RHP to 2, Ylönen to 3 and Pezz to 4). If Monahan doesn't resign (which is realistic), I think that solidifies that this management group believes in Dach as a centre (which I agree with). In this case, They might have a Ylönen type on his natural side or bring caufield down with Dach and put RHP with Suzuki and Anderson. Many options, I think the lineup I have is the most "optimal".

I think one of our Ds has to be traded or a player like Xhekaj has to move or go to the AHL. I could also see Guhle start in the AHL and play in all positions, having matheson really benefits him.

so a team that has gobs of cap space and could get Yamamoto for very little is going to let Montreal eat half of his cap hit and trade away a close to 33 OA pick?

As much as I like the edmonton trade, I don't think Edmonton would accept giving away their first and yamamoto for a fringe top 4 - top 6 D. Same goes for carolina, I think there's better options than a bottom 6F thats getting paid a bit much

They get a first for Edmundson because they get to offload Yamamoto who seems to be rumoured on his way out. I don't actually think Edmundson gets a 1st on his own, even at 50% retained
