Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Trades:

To DET: Barzal
To NYI: Hronek, Zadina, '22 1st(#8), WSH '22 2nd(#52)
*Pipedream but finally gives us a legit 1/2 punch up the middle without having to fall into lottery luck.

To DET: '22 1st(mid 20's), Petr Mrazek
To TOR: '23 2nd
*Get a first back for eating Mrazek's contract for two years

UFA:
Filip Forsberg - $8.5m x 7 years huge upgrade to our top 6 that gives us another legit scoring threat. The depth pushes our 2nd/3rd line tweeners(Fabbri) to the 3rd line.
Jon Klingberg - $6.5m x 4 years Solid 2nd pair two way vet with playoff experience to play behind Mo
Nikita Zadorov - $4.5m x 4 years big, solid defensively responsible guy who can play big minutes to pair with Mo and to play in front of Edvinsson to shelter him a bit.

This is an Yzerman team. Big, mobile two way defensemen on the back end and high end skill and depth on the front end. Not crazy about the goaltending, but Ned showed flashes that he has what it takes to be the guy. If Ras can continue to devleop into a Brian Boyle-esque big bodied 3C that can contribute 20 goals while playing responsible D and Berggren is as advertised we've got a dark horse contender for the division.
