You can't dump Holloway on the 4th line. Let him play 1st line in Bakersfield for a year or two

Just manipulating the roster to get under 81.5

You'll also want to put Klefbom under "LTIR", not just IR.

LTIR Klefbom, call Kassian back up, send Holloway down.

LTIR Klefbom, call Kassian back up, send Holloway down.

put Klefbom in LTIR we have an extra 4.1 mil (they will do that), we are trading koskinnen and Kassian as well. This gives us 10 mil in can, we can sign Murray and Tatar with that money, and still be able to trade for a goalie check my account for the oilers posts

Where would Tatar fit in the current lineup

if holland really wants to put us in contention. step 1 - trade koskinnen and Kassian away, this frees up 7 mil, than he has 11 mil to spend, both should be gone with one a 2nd and 3rd round pick., Step 2 sign Tatar and Ryan Murray. Step 3 get a goalie like korpisalo, oettinger or Jarry. All would fit in the cap space under this case scenario
