Interesting. Needs a few tweaks, but it's a reasonable proposal. Your proposal lacks a seventh defensemen. If Kakko does stay your at least $1M too high. $2.25M-$2.5M is about right. There are several younger goalies available that you could sign at $80-90K (e.g Lingren, Rittich). It will take at least $2M to sign Braun. His Cap was $1.8 in 21-22. If you made all the changes I'm suggesting it might take you over the cap limit. If that is the case, bring up Lundqvist and Jones to fill Braun's spot and provide a 7th D. I think you would need to choose between Hunt and Brods for 13th forward. I would go with Brods who can double a a C. A 22 man roster is the limit. If you did all that and stay under the cap, great. If not, bringing back Kevin Rooney at 4th line C would be a good option and create some additional cap space. Rask would be a great addition if we can swing it.
