Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

The Faulk-trade talks have been in Karlssons shadow and now I believe the pressure can be turned on.
This is a big but simple trade!
Puljujärvi and Aho was amazing together in world juniors! I think Teräväinen played with them a year as well. Saarela should get a long and hard look this year as a 3rd line winger.
This can be a really good finnish core for them!

I wanted to add RNH but I couldn't make it into a trade that I'd consider fair. If he'd still play third line center behind McD and Draisaitl it would be possible but now he's the first line LW.
Lucic on the other hand, I wanted to retain 50% but that wasn't realistic. 1,5m is 25% and since the Canes want to become harder to play against they might take on the remainder of his 4,5m.

I also signed Lehtonen to light a fire under Mrasek and Darling but it's a november-signing, not a summer-signing.

The lines aren't set in stone. I believe Saarela could take a spot, Svechnikov might only be there for 9 games, Zykov maybe needs a year more in AHL or Wallmark steals it out of the gate. Necas is there while Rask is out, afterwards he'll either be in AHL or they'll find some solution.
