No idea if this happens, but GAWD that is a stacked offense!

and the same defense and goaltending that was second lowest GA for Jennings and took tampa to 7

The Blues are pretty deep on the right side. Doubt that Eberle is a fit. Do you have an elite LHD prospect with size that NJ would part with, along with Bellows?

No way St. Louis retains that much salary for that return. I highly doubt they'd be willing to retain any at all, but they would definitely want more then a prospect you don't want, a winger you don't want and a third round pick.

There is also no way to "backload" an NHL contract to reduce the cap hit. Cap hits are calculated by Average Annual Value, meaning no matter what a player makes in a given year, their cap hit stays the same. You can't do it on cap friendly because it's not possible in real life.

This lineup makes me physically ill.
