Date de création initiale: 16 juin 2022

Publié: 16 juin 2022

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Couple of Jimmy's favourite players and a first should be enough to pry the Pittsburgh boy out of Vancouver.

Zucker while a cap dump, still fits in with the Anaheim top 6 and probably scores 20 there with ice time and good health.

Pettersson is pretty much gone at this point, would love to get more for him, but this seems to be pretty much the consensus value on here.

Might have to pay Rakell a bit more, but that's not a huge issueif you have to give him an extra 500k a year or so.

I think that should be the deal Malkin signs, just seems too perfect. Right about on the value if he were to take a discount and looks cool with the symmetry to Sid's number contract, plus he gets to play out his contract with Sid. I think they both leave one way or another at the end of those contracts.

Letang really wants the extra years so you give them to him so he takes a little less AAV. What's the harm in paying him those extra two years when you likely aren't competitive anyway. Maybe don't give him the no trade clause for the last couple years to keep your options open and give him a shot at another cup.

This looks like a dangerous team, with a bit of cap space to fill in holes on the D and maybe the bottom 6 at the trade deadline.

Just to bad Hextall has a man crush on Big Jeff, cause I have a feeling that contract is not going to look good very early on next year. Just looked like he was slowing down big time as the year went on.

Nylander, Poulin, and O'Connor battle for the final spot and bring back Big Brian Boyle for when we inevitably lose a center at some point. Or have Miller slide over.

Marc-Andre takes the hometown discount to finish his career as a Pen and gives us a back-up we can actually rely on for once.

Please give me your thoughts on the deals, signings and what you think of the team and how realistic something like this is.
Thanks
