Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Dallas, the time has come for a retool. They have young pieces to build around but they also have a lot of veterans who are likely gone and a lot of questions to be answered. All trade rumors are centered around Klingberg. A lot of their trade chips will be gone in free agency.

Rule: No calling up players with no NHL experience, training camp will determine that

First, let's get the RFA's under contract

Jake Oettinger looks good and is slated to be the goalie of the future. A Demko-esque contract seems to be the going rate but with a little less term and money. Dobby will serve as a placeholder backup as Dallas won't be good and it's a roster spot filled

Second, Denis Gurianov. He looks to be the Hintz's wingman for the next little while, he'll want to be paid but I don't want to give him too much term.

Extend and pay Jason Robertson. He might get a bit more but I'm unsure

Esa Lindell is likely the biggest trade chip, there is a logjam on the Left D side. I'm going to send him to a team that needs defence after this season. He should fetch a solid return as a guy in his prime with term and a fair contract

Finally, they need some D on the right side, Stetcher and Gustavsson should be cheap and solid options for a team beginning to retool

Would I like to move the Suter, Benn, and Seguin contracts? Yes, but I am unsure which one could/would be moved and where?
