These trade are made to liberate some space on the cap, yess putting kk,romanov and suzuki ont the taxi squad makes you save money to call guys like perry when injury happens but dont forget that these young players have bonuses and if they aren't pay this year, its apply on the cap next year.

2021-2022 roster
Drouin (5.5m) – Suzuki (0.864m) – Anderson (5.5m)
Tatar (5m) – Danault (5.25m) – Gallagher (6.5m)
Lehkonen (2.5m) – KK (3m) – Toffoli (4.25m)
Motte (1.25m) – Evans (0.75m) – Byron (3.4m)

Chiarot (3.5m) – Petry (6.25m)
Romanov (0.89m) – Weber (7.86m)
Harris (0.75m) – Fleury (1m)

Price (10.5m)
Allen (2.88m)

Alzner Buyout (1.96m)
Extras : Ouellet (0.74m), Belzile (0.75m)

43.76m + 20.25m + 13.38m + 1.96m + 1.5m = 80.85m

I think you need both Danault and Tatar for a Stanley cup and the core now can convince us it is achievable now (once you are in playoffs, everything is possible) , If we don’t win a cup after these 2 years, for sure you’ll have to make some move on the wings to resign Suzuki and Romanov. Depending of the contribution they have on the team, guys like Drouin, tatar, Anderson, toffoli, Byron or lehkonen could be trade for younger guys with less cap hit but they wont be contender for sure if they loose those guys. Maybe it will be the time to trade price/weber after these 2 years tho.
