Great job MB now whos out

If you retain half I’d be willing to give a 5th and Antoine Morand for Byron

bergy isn't gonna retain on Byron. On Kulak sure, but not Byron.

Bergevin really should have stuck with Kulak instead of Edmundson imo, would relieve these cap troubles big time.

You must keep Kulak. 1. He's been good and he's cheap and he's D depth. Edmunson and Romanov are unproven thus far. If even they play great, you need Kulak.

You can keep everyone but it's very tight.

Weal goes on waivers and gets buried. Belzile is the extra forward. Romanov extra D. That gets you under the cap. Evans is your fourth center.

In the case of an injury player goes on LTIR (caprelief) Poehling is first call up. If no LTIR Belzile must play.

In this situation Bergy can only call up a 700,000 player. Juulsen I believe is no longer a 2 way, so if ever gets called up he can't go back down and in that case someone needs to get traded.

It's doable but gives no wiggle room.

If someone has to go it's one of Lehkonen, Byron, Armia.

You have to ask yourself who is the most expendable and who can be replaced at a lower cost.

To me it's between Byron and Armia. If you trade Byron for picks you could sign a guy like Kahun for 2Mil? Then you 1.5 cap space. The loss doesn't hurt so much.

If you trade Armias 2.5 Mil can you replace him with someone for 1 M in the open market. If you simply call up Poehling and move Evans to RW you've lost depth and maybe Poehling is ready.

I've been musing this for some time as you can see.

I like Byron alot and he is unique weapon, but that 3.4 is hurting when there is possibly a cheaper equivalent.

I'd like Armia for the Rangers at the right price. Think he'd be a good replacement for Fast this season.
