Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Not a super realistic plan given the necessary salary retention and I'd guess, even though I think it's fair compensation, that the Bs would end up out-bid on both the Acciari and Schenn deals. Chychrun is a whole other beast, where the Coyotes actually need salary back to stay above the cap floor, but I also have to think low 1st round picks and those particular prospects would be a tough sell relative to other teams' prospects/ picks on the table.

I really like the idea of an 11 F/ 7 D post-season roster- rolling 3 balanced D pairs (could probably be listed in any order given the balance/ depth) each with a top pair D-man plus having a great penalty killer in Forbort eating up those penalty minutes and rotating through the pairs. Considering how few minutes the 12th F typically gets, allowing for a few less minutes/ game given the high stress/ impact on D-men through the playoffs, and the inevitable in-game D injury, could make for a significant impact in the cup run.

In this fantasy scenario Frederic, Acciari, Foligno, and Bjugstad are mostly interchangeable as the 4th line and competition for 3rd line RW. Though I'm listing Acciari as the scratch, could see it being any of the 4 making for significant depth especially when including Nosek and Greer, and of course all 4 would be in if going with a 12 F group.
