Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

No Trades in this one - just was thinking about what this team needs to at least get back to playoff contention. The lineup order is from projected 4th line to 1st line [not 1st line to 4th], with possible trading pieces after.

4th: I'm ok with resigning Vesey to work with Mcleod and Bastian or have Wood with the two of them.
3rd: I would like to try Bratt with Mercer again and possibly Wood (when he returns).
2nd: Hischier and Holtz I like to see - with maybe a UFA, or 1 of Tatar, Sharangovich, or Johnnson (if 1 of those three is not traded)
1st: Hughes - is going to need top 6 forward(s) with him. I'm ok with Bratt playing with him every now and then, but I think at least 1 top 3 to top 6 scoring winger via a trade or in UFA on this line will be needed.

Misc. Thoughts:
- If Severson gets extended, does Smith get involve in a trade for perhaps a top 6 scoring winger (or vice versa with Severson getting moved)?
- There's a lot of middle 6 to bottom 6 forwards and a surplus of left handed defensemen right now that can be involved in a trade.
- Subban I feel could be moved at the trade deadline.
- Zacha - Same as above as Subban (or in the offseason)
