Assuming cap rises to 85M

FLA trade has been posted on here many times before. It makes a ton of sense positionally for both teams and the value is close imo. Add whatever you think to either side but these are the main pieces

Seems like Puljujarvi wont be with EDM much longer. Im not sure how that will play out - maybe he gets traded at the deadline or maybe EDM keeps him for 1 more run but its unlikely EDM qualifies him if they keep him. If the Avs trade for him I think he may be willing to sign for under his QO to get a fresh start in an organization with a history of success with turning defensive 2 way wingers (Nichushkin and Lehkonen) into top 6 players

J Toews will be 35 by July so he could be signed to a 35+ contract with a lower AAV and performance bonuses to make up for it (similar to what BOS did with Bergeron and Krejci). Im not really sure what kind of AAV he will be looking for. Hes made over 110M in his career already so maybe he will sign cheap to try to win again or maybe he will try to maximize $$$ since hes already won 3 cups. I dont know so I just put 2M AAV for now

Assuming NYI doesnt win the cup this year then it may be Parise's last chance to sign with a winning team. At age 39 theres a real chance he regresses but for 800k it doesnt really matter since he can be buried (Meyers/Maltsev/Foudy/Ranta/Kaut/Olausson/etc can replace him), and if he doesnt regress then 800k is great value for what he can provide

Holden could be replaced with whichever cheap UFA D man you want. I just chose Holden here since he played for the Avs before and seems like a solid D man still

Glendening could be replaced with whichever cheap UFA 4C you want

Newhook hasnt been great this year and I think that will bring his AAV down a bit from where a lot of people were expecting it to be going into this season. Obviously theres still a lot of time left and he could still take over 2C and show hes worth more than this, but assuming he finishes the season playing the same as he is now I think 2M is in the ballpark of what he will get. This puts him between what Chytil and Roslovic got on their 2nd deals

Byram hasnt played much this season and actually has by far the worst xGF% on the team so far. Its probably just due to a small sample size and based on his play from the 2022 playoffs he should be getting a nice payday. 3x4M matches the Dobson contract which I think is a nice comparable
