not enough for stamkos
too much for ullmark
not a full roster, and definitely re-sign heinen

the only good news here is the cap should be 87.7

Stamkos will gonna ask more.

My assumption is NJ won’t really have any interest in Lauko. My guess is a 2nd round too much though I do think the Bruins would prefer a 2024 first rounder.

I just threw Lauko in there tbh, he's probably traded elsewhere.

Yeah probably.

That's a full roster my friend, you need to have at least 20 players, this would be 21.
Maybe a slight overpay for Ullmark but his return would be some cluster of picks. Stamkos probably wants more and I have nothing against resigning Heinen except that he's been bad in the playoffs and Geekie is already signed through next year. There isn't a spot for Heinen.

Heinen has basically been injured in the playoffs. Not sure I’d say you can come up with any conclusion on him.

The cap is going to be 87.7M, which makes me think we go after someone bigger than Stamkos or Bertuzzi. I could see Bertuzzi PLUS a big name

Heinen has been injured for sure but he has a history of being a no-show in the playoffs. Another guy that I like is March from vegas that'd be a guy i'd like over a Stamkos and as for Bert I think he fit very well into our system. Certain players flourish when they come over here and he was one of them. Some other examples are, Wotherspoon and Peeke who have played great. That 87.7 Million should work wonders you're right.
