Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

I know it's early to be thinking about the offseason but I had an urge to make this tonight.

A Few Thoughts:
1. I think even if Galch improves his play at this point he probably won't be resigned.
2. With how Marino has developed for the pens I find it hard to believe that Schultz will be staying with the team.
3. With how McCann has played at center I believe Bjugstad is gone this offseason if not earlier. The return I'm not 100% sure of at this point in time.
4. Jarry's play has me really thinking about Murray's contract. Both goaltenders need resigned and are RFAs. If Murray stays at .910 or if he climbs to even .915 do you want to sign him for 7 or 8 years? Do you think he accepts a 2 or 3 year deal around 6 mil? I think its absolutely worth trying to determine if Murray or Jarry is the direction the pens should go. If you could get both of them on shorter term deals I think that would be the best course of action.
5. Even with JJ's improved play I think a trade is absolutely needed. you can find cheaper and younger players who can play 3rd pair defence.
6. I think it will be worth looking at Addison and/or Joseph at the start of next season.
7. Poulin will probably start next season with the team.

I created Some Guy and Some Guy-Again to represent potential depth signings (whether thats 3rd pair defence or a depth forard) as I think having the pens sign anyone doesn't make sense this far from free-agency. They arent anyone in particular just some guy who can play hockey for the team.
