No Hamilton or Jones

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

- I’d be more than okay adding for Reinhart if a deal is in place before the trade, but that is where I would start the conversation. Boqvist showed promise toward the end of the season and NJD already has a log jam of guys who can play wing or center. Tyce is a sweetener with a good story in place to play with his brother, and the 1st helps Buffalo’s rebuild.

- No need for Butcher with Ty Smith in the lineup.

- Oleksiak provides size and a stay at home mentality (which NJD desperately needs) to support Walsh’s offensive game in sheltered minutes, or play along Subban who thrived in MTL playing with another defensive defenseman in Markov.

- Halak comes in to be the veteran backup Crawford was suppose to be this past season.

- With the flat cap, NJD still has $23m with PK coming off the books next season giving them plenty of flexibility to sign Hughes, resign Bratt/Zacha/Wood, and make a bigger splash in the off-season next year when they are ready to compete.

- Shelter Holtz on the 3rd line to get acclimated to North American ice/NHL tempo and let him naturally move up the lineup like Hischier did in his rookie year.

Open to opinions and suggestions, just don’t torch it… or do, go with what you feel.
