Quoting: Wildwinswhen
Yeah, this is my concern with Eichel. We could get him, but we have no team left when we do with the dead cap
I think Zucc would be dumped somewhere and Spurgeon boughtout to free up another $11m or so at this point; that would buy you a goalie ($3m) and 2 d-man ($4m/each).
I wouldn't be too concerned about the FWDs (assuming Rossi and Greenway are gone):
xxx/Eichel/Kaprizov (they'll be able to carry a 3rd FWD)
Boldy/JEE/Fiala
Foligno/xxx/Hartman (probably the 4th line)
xxx/xxx/xxx
Guessing 2-3 current prospects fill the xxx spots for cheap. McBain isn't included here, but I think he has a shot as a bottom-6er still
Brodin/Menell
xxx/Addison
xxx/xxx
Guessing 1 prospect fills a xxx spot, MN seems to be able to turn in something into nothing for d-men so it might fill another xxx spot. One of Addison or Menell really needs to turn into something though.

No clue on this. They have currently have some decent goalie prospects, but I couldn't say if any of them were even going to turn into NHL backup quality. Goalies are just so hard to predict.
