Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Just read the Athletic article about 5 LHD options and they all have their caveats...

Giordano - expensive for 38 yr old
Chiarot - bad at hockey
Lindholm - probably not available
Chara - maybe 3 yrs ago
Chychrun - guts the pool entirely

...So I keep going back to a potential sleeper / out of the blue option

Soucy - extra year, fair contract, lower acquisition cost, younger than the other options

I wonder if Seattle would make him available? I know he's considered more of a 'bottom 4' option but I think he could handle himself on the 2nd pair and maybe take over some PK time.

As an aside, zero pts in the last 9 games, is the Barby heater officially over? Might be time to add some new blood into the top9. Not saying the forwards are an issue, just a thought for a spark. The last handful of games have been boring af for the most part.

Scandella LTIR, has the same back issue as Mark Stone, it flares up when they're in cap trouble :)
