Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Here's a potential of TB being able to take a serious run at another cup by leveraging assets which other teams have discarded, but are still good.
Assumptions:
- Suter and Parise want to stay together, want to win a cup, and will sign bargain deals.
- Various other veteren players who have made money, but not won, would come over.

Steps:
1) Grease Seattle to take McDonaugh (1st rounder, maybe more needed)
2) Trade a solid, young but expensive player to the team of the guy who originally drafted him. Probably not get his true worth because of flat cap year.
3) Bite the bullet and buyout Tyler Johnson. Don't think anyone is going to trade for him.

Then sign some UFAs who still have value:
- Bring back Goodrow, 3 x $2M
- Sign Parise & Suter, $1M each.
- Sceviour and Helm are reliable depth forwards with experience.
- Marc Staal wants a cup like his brothers.
- James Reimer is a solid back up who won't complain about being a back up.

23 player roster with $265k to spare.
