I dont see Fiala returning a top 10 pick

Min isn’t likely to trade Dumba even though he isn’t nearly as effective as MIN thinks he is
Min should keep one of merrill or Kulikov if not both around. Both are pretty effective when they play. I am not overly confident that Lambos and ROR both will be nhl ready next season

I can't see the Sabres moving a first for a one year rental. They are not going to make a run next season so it seems like a waste of a future asset.

Sabres only do that with a contract extension in hand

I know we won’t do this but idk, was just an idea to try to build around younger guys

I like Merill but he is LS which isn't needed at all

Definitely like the idea of building from within the organization ROR isn’t ready, wallstadt will probably play one year in the AHL or if the season is so bad and he’s playing well down in Iowa they might bring him up to get some time. I don’t think they’ll trade 3 defenseman this offseason but I like the idea if getting rid of Dumba. I just have never liked him. He’s supposed to bring a offensive game but I don’t think he brings enough of that to overcome his defensive deficiencies. I hope Addison can prove he’s worth a spot on the roster otherwise I could see him traded. I think guerin expected him to develop and be better when he made the trade for him. I would think the Wild will resign Fluery. Definitely not DLo. He didn’t bring anything to the playoffs but truthfully he really couldn’t because we had to stay out of the box so his physical game was held back. I think they’ll chose to go more the skill route from within for the 4th line. I’d love to see Rossi, boldy and jost together. But I think they’ll give Rossi every opportunity to skate with Kaprizov which is great! But for how good of a season Hartman had I think they’ll continue to slot him in on the top line.

I think you gotta keep Jon Merrill around - he's only $1.2M so a low cap hit for a guy with a good amount of NHL experience. You also have it so that one of Lambos or O'Rourke is going to be sitting in the press box every night - I'd rather have Merrill be that 7th D and let one of those kids play every night in the AHL and keep developing.

The funniest thing about how you've set this team up is that you have the room to keep Fiala if he's going to get an $8M contract.
