Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

this isn't necessarily what I would do but what I think is going to happen.

1. sign all RFAs except Pekar
2. Send Bryson down to the minors. He shouldn't see the ice in the NHL this year. If he gets picked up on waivers, it's fine.
3. They trade for Carter Hart. Adams thinks the prices on Hellebuyck and Saros are too much for just 1 or 2 years so he settles on a younger goalie that he can sign long term to play with Levi
4. Sign a veteran forward that has playoff experience in Nick Bonino. He does not have to play too much but when injuries happen he can be a steady presence in the lineup
5. No one bites on olofsson so the sabres keep him. Play him here or there and remains somewhat productive. (Prediction: olofsson will score a huge playoff goal this season)
6. Sign a top 4 d-man in Carson Soucy. This will help the blue line tremendously and he can be paired with Power
7. Kulich makes the team out of camp but if he needs to come out, Olofsson and Bonino can come right in
8. Adams does not part with too many assets and remains patient. Wants to keep his first round pick and most prospects but says this is a year to go to the playoffs. Will make some deadline acquisitions if buffalo is in a place to do so
9. With the 13th overall pick, Buffalo selects: Matthew Wood (Forward)
