I really like your reasoning behind this. I believe Alzer is the target and not Shattenkirk. See my Post on New Jersey https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/312625

I believe instead of Silverberg, the target from anaheim is Vatanen. Need more production out of the Defense.

Will Rykov be in the organization this upcoming season?

But overall I like this a lot and it is very realistic

Rykov may not be here next year but did play 47 games for SKA and was very solid... part of the come back for Kovy convincing management that Rykov is NHL ready... Toyed with bringing aboard Radulov since the Kovy connection but elected to keep it simple... Could definitely see Devils bringing in Vatenen/Theodore

There is no chance alzner signs for that he is looking for 5.5 to 6 or more and someone will pay it. Sorry your out of luck.

Big deal just add 2 mil to that then... we have 5 mil left in cap in that projection and clowe comes off the books for 4.3 mil... don't sweat the small stuff you get the idea plenty of spending room... and no way he gets 6 mil he gets 5.5 mil tops
