FREE AGENTS: Sheary (let go for the love of God), Marleau (Nice but too old and too slow), Schultz* (I like his game but everyone looks bad when with JJ)
MUST TRADES: Nick Bjustad (injury prone), Jack Johnson (PLEASE save us all), Matt Murray (#1 goalie on another team, get a first round pick and more for him or a stellar D man)
COULD TRADE: Hornqvist (due to cap), Aston-Reese (He's fine but there is better), Jared McCann (should be on the wing), Simon (3rd/4th line player but there is better), Pettersson (physically weak still and could hold very good value to another team) , Riikola (like his game but needs trusted and played)
COULD RE-SIGN: Schultz* (3-4mil)
NEED TO BE IN THE LINEUP: Poulin (net front kid with youth and scoring, Legare (the elite shooter we need on the power play)
NEED TO SEE: O'Connor-LW (Big, strong, Take long look), Maniscalco-D (Big, strong, Take long look)
Cap Result: $18,728,375 in the black!!! Plenty of space to secure the right player/players in Free Agency at the seasons conclusion.
POTENTIAL SIGNINGS:
Chris Tanev-D (Right Handed D Man who plays hard and tough and PK minutes and east nails and spits rust and can play top 4, would love to play with his brother closer to home) 4 year deal at 4.5 mil/per.
PENDING CONTRACTS THAT AFFECT CAP FOR 2021:
Pettersson
CONTRACTS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE THAT WILL AFFECT CAP FOR 2021 & BEYOND:
Simon (maybe), Jarry (MUST), Lafferty (MUST), Riikola (Maybe)
TEAM NEEDS:
1. Jarry is starter so just move forward and play Casey DeSmith enough so that Jarry is in prime.
2. Play THIS top 6 and don't screw with it or their heads. Let them figure it out.
3. Brandon Tanev to play more minutes as we need his grit.
4. Look at Free Agency or a Trade for a elite 3rd line center IF available otherwise use our depth.
5. Sign John Marino long-term and don't over pay or under pay. The guy deserves it.
6. Look at Free Agency or a Trade for elite left-handed defensemen who can play top 4 minutes.
7. Look at Free Agency or a Trade for a tough/gritty/strong right-handed defensemen who can play 15-20 minutes and PK and brings a smart/tough element to the team.
8. Play Poulin, Legare, and O'Connor and let them develop NHL style.
9. GET quality in return for Murray and Hornqvist and make the teams pay for them.
10. DO NOT PUT JACK JOHNSON ON THE ICE AGAIN!!!
I don't know why Sullivan doesn't just keep Johnson in the minors. It would solve literally everything with him making others he plays with trash in the NHL level. You'd have to deal with it in the AHL but it doesnt matter as much as the NHL

Well I love your idea BUT his contract is for the NHL and it will go against our NHL Cap even if he is in the AHL.

Crosby, that's why.
