Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

With a new GM, Sharks make their long-awaited tank to get a few picks to bounce back to contention after 2 seasons in the dumps.

TRADES
- Burns is shipped to Carolina. They need a TDA replacement and they'd have the draft capital to make it work.
- Labanc is swapped with Donskoi. Donskoi has one less year on his contract than Labanc, and he can fill in the cap space needed to drop into high draft positions.
- Simek is dumped to another tanking team that needs depth D on the cheap
- Nieto is shipped to a contender. He has an affordable cap hit and he does not fit Grier's vision of skilled but physical play.
- Reimer is shipped to an up-and-coming playoff team. He's in better form than Hill, and he can be used in a trade to upgrade picks and burn off bad contracts.
- Bonino is shipped to an up-and-coming team looking for veteran leadership.

SIGNINGS
- Re-sign all qualified RFAs
- Deslauriers is signed. He can protect rookies and he can be flipped to a playoff team on deadline day.

AFTER THE SEASON
- Buyout Vlasic and Zaitsev
- Trade for an additional 1st round pick in the 2023 draft
- Use the $12M+ cap space to QO Meier, Merkley, Knyzhov, Reedy and Mann
- Look for potential trade interest for Couture and EK65, keeping in mind the likelihood of retaining salary for either one
