Saros, Hart, Allen? .....Yeah yeah that's great and all but where is the cap space coming from exactly? They can't do anything unless they ship out more cap then they are taking. Not only will they have to overpay because teams know they are desperate but they don't have the cap to make any of these trades anyway. If they throw Campbell into any trade, they'll have to add even more assets to the deal, making it even more unlikely. Nobody is taking other players from the team like Ceci/Kulak/Foegele in season just because EDM has to do it, unless they are a rebuilding team looking for additional assets and have cap space but there are only a handful of those teams. But will only hurt EDM further as they don't have the depth to replace those guys really either.

Now, the ONLY realistic option is to dumpster dive/bargain bin some players and pray McJesus and Drai figure it out. Oh and fire Holland obviously. Then revaluate in the off season with the new cap number and a Campbell buyout.

Here are some options that won't cost too much but obviously aren't game changers either. Just to try and spark the team a little. The team has to get better mainly from the players already on the team. If they try to go big stud shopping now, they'll be taken to the cleaners and may still not make the playoffs.
