Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Assuming that Miller does not move in the offseason and no additional moves are made to fix the Defense, the team as constructed will have a deep forward core that allows for:

FWD:
1.) a more balanced attack between lines 1 to 3; 5v5, these lines could potentially play equally
2.) multiple moving parts
3.) reallocation of veterans to the 4th line who have been defensively responsible

DEF:
1.) movement of OEL to the RS alongside Hughes, allowing Hughes to still rove, and OEL to be a good safety outlet.

I don't like this defense much, but if the FWDs are more responsible and come back in support, it should lead to less getting pinned in their defensive end. As in previous years, Demko is there. God Bless Ian Clark.

Cap compliancy is reached prior to the start of the regular season by leaving Ferland on IR ($3.5M), then papering all waiver exempt players to Abbotsford; this includes Rathbone, Kuzmenko, Podkolzin and Hoglander ($3.617M). I believe this should allow the team to maximize their in-season Accruable Cap Space Limit.
