Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

First time trying this so I might be way off but here is my attempt at making the Isles respectable again next season.

TAVARES SIGNS (don't see him staying with the isles for anything less than 12M per).
- SIGN JOHN CARLSON. Would take a heft chunk of cash but would instantly make our D respectable.
- SIGN DE HAAN, he along with Carlson (and better D coaching) would make our D much more stable.
- TRADE Pelech, Mayfield, E McAdom, and 2019 5th rounder for Keith Kincaid. He's coming off a decent year and is LI raised. Not many other G options but something has to be done. I'd be willing to part with some assets to try and solve the problem.
- SIGN KULEMIN to much better deal of 1M per, if able. Would bring stability to 4th line at much better price point.
- BUYOUT CLUTTERBUCK (terrible contract Snow gave him)
- GIVE HO SANG AND JOHNSTON much more of a chance than last season. K Bellows and if needed Dal Colle are waiting to step in for anyone underperforming.
-In this scenario we would likely either keep our 2018 picks or package them to try and trade up for an elite prospect.
----Obviously a handful of wildcards here. Being able to sign/re sign some of these players may or may not happen. The trade value for each side could be off as well. Every player on the third line could be a major question mark. And the goaltending could still be an issue even with Kincaid. Even with the player improvements we would need much better coaching to be a legit playoff team. I however think this would be a step in the right direction.

Let me know what you think!
