I’d be cool with that for CBJ. Would hope he maybe signs an affordable 2-3 year deal with it

I would keep Forbort, I think you're a little high on the Frederic and Swayman deals which would fit him under the cap. If it takes that much to sign Swayman they probably will be forced to trade Ullmark. Merkulov would fill that 2LW role, he's been on fire in the AHL and is probably the best player in Prov right now. No way Lohrei makes the jump to the NHL, if he evens signs this year.

I could also see them trading Coyle as well if they think they can get a Monahan or Compher to sign for cheaper, not that they're better, especially if they try to keep Bertuzzi.

I would also be surprised if Bergeron didn't come back, win the cup or not, I think he would want to be on the centennial team and get his 7th Selke.

no reason for ottawa to make that trade

Bruins will be celebrating their 100th season next year. I don't see Bergeron retiring until after their 100th season.

cbj pass imo

I think the Jackets decline the Grzelcyk trade. I'd offer a 5th round pick for Forbert though.
