Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

The trade will swap goaltenders, and give us another top 6 forward, so Virtanen can play on the third line. We still have plenty of cap space next season, and we will be able to sign Hamonic and Vatanen. Offence Lines 2 and 4 will be defensive lines (line 2 also has a lot of offense, and can make quick plays), while 1 and 3 are primarily Offensive (line 3 is just players who can't defend). Hughes and Schmidt will join the first line on offensive plays, and will be a powerhouse. PK 1 will be very resistant, and expect some shorthanded goals from it. PK 2 is a more quiet line. We will slowly expose Juolevi, Rafferty, and maybe even Rathbone to NHL roles. Eventually, Hoglander may be able to take Roussel's job, and MacEwan is much more physical than Virtanen and Gaudette, so he may be able to step in. Podkolzin will be signed ASAP, and may even play a game or so. Benn will play games, and if someone is injured, we will have that cushion. This team should be able to make the playoffs, and hopefully Demko and Quick will make a better-than-average Tandem.
