Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

I don't know if these moves are realistic but the moves I'd like to make are;

Deadline:
- Trade Ceci for a more defensive defenseman with the same term but a lower AAV, this will cost assets to shed cap and remain relatively the same skill-wise. (I think Rutta is a minor downgrade).

- Trade Broberg while he still has at least some value, no point in another year in the AHL. I like Broberg but I'd rather have one year of an impact player now than continue to wait on him.

- Pay big time for a rental true #1 RD. Either DeMelo or Pesce, I chose DeMelo because I figured WIN is more likely to sell than CAR. Blaisdell rights are players we could sign to replace the lack of draft capital this year, not a top 15 prospect in the WIN system according to Athletic rankings, but I think I'd just want a body back in that deal for the 2 picks.

Off-Season:
- Sign Kane to 1.5mil AAV and keep on LTIR until around mid-season when he recovers from surgery. When he comes back you can send down Gagner and Pederson.

- Sign Gagner after PTO. (I love Gags).

- Get Bouchard to take the same deal as Byram. Also, Bouch is getting an 850k bonus this year nobody is mentioning. 4.7 is more than fair for him this year.

When Kane plays:

Kane-McDavid-Hyman
Nuge-Drai-Kane
Foegs-Clouder-Brown
Holloway-Ryan-Jan

I love that lineup...
