Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Tried to target teams that I figure need to dump salary or have been rumoured to be looking for change.
Arizona - Will be dumping salary, and need to replenish lost draft picks - 2 goalies making $4M+ would be a good place to start. Would prefer Kuemper but a platoon of Raanta and Rittich for a year should be better than last year.

Wild - not convinced Gaudreau needs to be traded, but this is for fun. Everyone on the Wild seems to be talked about. Dumba would be a nice fit! The pick reflects the difference in contract length.

TB - Need to move at least one middle 6 with term to be able to resign a couple RFAs.
Think my offer is pretty fair value - although I admit TB will likely have plenty of offers to choose from for at least a couple of Palat, Johnson, Killorn, and Gourde.

Sign - Mangiapane - no brainer bridge deal, Reider earned another year.
Not sure what Gustafsson FA value is with the flat cap. Took a guess, assuming Brodie would be more expensive. Could also look at someone like Vatanen - who should be slightly less expensive.

Signed Larsson from Buffalo - seems to have pretty good underlying numbers.
Martin for size and depth.
Weber for depth.

Overall - improved defense with Dumba and Raanta.
I think bottom half looks pretty good, but maybe lost a little skill up front losing Gaudreau.
Hoping Dube and Mangiapane can continue to develop offensive games. Bennett needs to be told to play the regular season like he did in the playoffs! Here's hoping Valimaki can stay healthy - really want to see what he can do with some steady time.
