Victor Hedman will be on LTIR after season ending hip surgery. And Johnson and Kilorn will be gone. So Tampa easily matches that OS on Foote. And Landeskog isn't leaving Colorado for Montreal. And Blake Coleman will only sign in the States reportedly homerown Dallas is the front runner for his services.

When you can't fill out the 23 man roster without going over the cap, you've probably spent to much

Also, not sure why you'd give a way a 1st to move Lehkonen and Byron. Lehkonen would be easy to trade for a pick and Byron, while harder to move, probably would be bought out before they'd give up a 1st.

While I think Drouin would do well in Colorado, they're not going to take him at that cap hit. Honestly no one's going to take him until there's more details about his situation at the least.

This is when Bergy come and flex his muscles

But for real, we still have no clue of what will TBL do, however, we all know OS never happen.

Colorado will not be able to offer 9 millions, let's not forget they added 1 million in cap with this Kadri trade

And for Coleman, we have seen many of this kind of rumor to hometown fail to materialize

At the end of the day, we need to be a little bit optimistic

The other three are in Laval and enjoy life and the city

20 man roster isn't remotely realistic, At minimum has to be a 22 man roster needs to scratch at least one forward and one defenceman just for injury sakes and you really don't have the cap for it.
