Need young guys to step & take on meaningful roles next year. Minimal new signings possible unless cap goes up more than expected. Clear needs imo are a vet FA dman to play top 4 (Gavrikov here but could be Jensen, Severson, etc.)
A top 6 FA winger - either a vet looking to join top team or a guy willing to take one year, prove it deal. Normally - not many would but given cap is expected to rise sharply in 2024, there may be a few high caliber guys willing to bet on themselves with promise of big payday in 2024. Not many better situations than playing with JT / Marner or Matthews / Nylander.
Goalie situation is complicated - we’ll need to see how rest of season / playoffs pan out before deciding but I don’t see how we can bring back both guys. And Woll is tearing up the ahl so he would be great backup next year; maybe sign a vet goalie to play with marlies (3rd stringer) as insurance
