Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Does not move up or down in the lottery (#4 pick). Take Byram with the pick (could also consider a C like Turcotte or Cozens). He spends an extra year in juniors (no point in rushing him), though if they do move up to 1 or 2, both Hughes and Kappo would be on the squad (obviously).

Using KH's words as a guide, no FA signings unless it's Panarin, EK65, Duchene (which I think is borderline top notch player). Outside of that, grow from within.

Kronwall resigned for 1 year, Daley moves on, Ericsson to the bench (no point in buying him out), Hicketts makes the squad instead of going through waivers. Hirose makes the club as AA's LW. AA experiment at C continues (as it should). Ras makes the squad on the 3rd line (would go to GR if he doesn't make the 3rd line).

Svech gets to spend more time developing in GR (is not waiver eligible since he did not play this year), which is necessary. Veleno is the top line C in GR.

Hank and Mule to regular IR, since DET is not close enough to the cap. Mule is a potential trade piece to get someone (OTT) to the cap floor without paying real dollars.
