Pretty much sums it up.

Also, Plekanec isn't worth a 2nd round pick, even as a rental.

Furthermore, you can't trade picks and add conditions regarding a player that was already traded in the past (Sergachev). Nor can you send picks on the condition that the other team makes the playoffs or not. No GM in their senile minds would ever agree to that.

Dumoulin has french-canadian ancestry, so does Chiarot. And what I meant with french speaking players isn't that they were born in qc...

Wanna compare with the 'Canes? They have the worst attendance in the league even though they have been in the league for a while.

Conpared to them, Quebec City would be full-packed every night (If the tickets aren't too expensive).

Few things I would change:

Alzner for a 5th round pick is basically giving him away. Bring that up to a 3rd and that makes more sense.

Kreider and Skjei are not going anywhere. The Rangers definitely want to keep them, since they are younger than Pacio and Benn. I know that Pacio is kind of going nowhere and that his peek might be already past, but you don't trade him for somebody who scores less than him.

Furthermore, Chucky for Girard and Smith doesn't make sense for both teams. Nashville would not be interested in Chucky and Montreal doesn't need another Left-handed D prospect (They already have Mete). Even worse, Smith would just be another plumber moving from the 4th to the 3rd line.

Last thing: Your title says 2018-2019, but you seem to have created the team in the 2017-2018 timeframe. There is an option when you create a team that allows you to begin on July 1st of the next season.

Sujet: What to do about the salary cap next year?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I really can't see those trades. Teams aren't going to willingly to take on all that cap. Sekera has a NMC, do you really think he would now want to move from a top contender? And Jersey would know that there is limited amount of teams he would want to be traded to, they wouldn't offer so much. I imagine Calgary wants their cap to sign Backlund not to trade for RHN. Right now I wonder if the Arizona really wants to give up on Strome.
Pouilet, it might be a fake cap hit, but I believe it's really money.</div></div>

New Jersey can afford Sekera, and Bastian isn't even close to Sekera in terms of trade value (even considering Sekera's injurie). Furthermore, this edit is a scenario where we jump all the way to before July 1st, 2018, without looking at the current season (2017-2018). Hence why I think Sekera would consider moving to NJ (They are becoming a force in the East).

Calgary won't resign Backlund if they don't make the playoffs this year (since he is a UFA). He's gonna want to move to a better team. Getting RNH to replace him makes sence for them since they are still rebuilding and RNH is younger.

Arizona might not want to lose Dylan, but they are getting nowhere with their prospects. They need more prime-aged guys to support. Plus, trading two brothers would get them media attention (which they really need rn), for a 0$ cost in marketing...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StammerTime</b></div><div>I don’t think you can trade buyouts</div></div>

Talking about that; Yes, you can definitely trade buyout contracts and Long term injury reserve contracts. Since Chayka has taken office in Arizona, they have acquired a bunch of these plus draft picks in exchange for low value players (look at the Pronger, Bolland and Ribeiro contracts...) That gives them room on the minimum cap space (58m) and allows them to play young prospects on entry-level contract and still make the minimum cap.
