It's good. The bottom-6 can improve (get players who can produce more offensively). I would just release Green and have Benning/Bouchard instead.

I wanted to keep Benning because I hope we draft his brother . However, I doubt he accepts less than his qualify offer so had to cut ties :/

I think with a flat cap, and especially if there’s no CBO, it’ll cost a lot more to dump contracts on other teams. Very few will have significant cap space that they don’t have earmarked already so there will likely be a bidding war including 1st rounders to get teams to take bad deals.

no from LA. Try Montreal

ottawa would probably try that trade out

I can see one but not two 2nd rounders for Puljujarvi. He hasn't proved anything in the NHL in his few years in the league.
