Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

MAIN GOAL: the main goal for Steve Staios and company this summer is to add better defensive players, as well gaining players with experience.

SECONDARY GOALS: The secondary goals are to get rid of back contracts. Nearly impossible to do with goaltending so that leaves Chabot on the chopping block. As well as another goal would to get a quality Goaltender, now this would be a main goal, but the goaltender market is looking really tough right now, most quality goaltenders are UFA’s by the end of 2025, that’s a risk that I don’t think Staios will take.

Summary: Only get a goaltender back if and only if we have figured out defence and experience first. Our goaltending is likley to get better with the changes above, so once that is all done, then maybe take a look at goaltending.

To add some things to the Calgary deal, Calgary doesn’t have much leverage with Markstrom, he’s getting older, and has a full NMC, and wants out. Calgary is trying to wait it out to try and get the most value possible, but that usually backfires, hes probably only going to go for a 1st round pick. So that being included covers Markstrom, the rest is dedicated for Weegar. Could be argued as an underpay, but also has a NMC, and probably also wants out, so again less leverage.

Trade Joseph, Acciari or Smith once Norris is ready to come back
