Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

1) Come to terms on reasonable contract extensions with both Markstrom and Toffoli, but wait to make the signings official until after some cap can be cleared.
2) Use Demko plus picks to trade away Eriksson's contract. Once Markstrom is extended Demko becomes a luxury that could easily be lost to expansion in a year. Better to use his value to shed cap now.
3) Use Stecher and a pick to trade one of Beagle or Roussel's contracts. Stecher could use a fresh start and may be too expensive for VAN to use as a 3rd pairing guy if Travis Green doesn't want to use him in the top 4.
4) Use Virtanen to move one of Beagle or Roussels' contracts. I like JV and think he can still be a solid 2RW, but if this move helps shed a bad contract and brings back a Dman or the cap space to sign a Dman then I think it's worth it. I took the basic idea for this trade from a Shibbal18 ACGM.
5) Sign remaining RFA's and team UFA's before free agency opens.
6) Use extra cap space to sign Tanev (or another veteran Dman if he demands more term) to a 1 year deal. If the Virtanen trade just opens up cap space I like the idea of signing DeMelo as a FA instead of Montour as an RFA. This roster allows for at least one top 4-quality Dman to spend time on the 3rd pair to potentially mentor any of the young callups from Utica. There's still room to pay for 2019/20 performance bonuses with lots of cap space opening up for 2021.
