Sujet: What I would have done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>A lot of good input here but they key foible is how valuable RFAs are especially relative to short term UFAs especially young cost controlled ones

UFAs very replaceable thru FA

Many players peak after 24 also 👀</div></div>

Yeah, it's true, RFAs can be hard to deal with and young players with cost control are very valuable. The problem is, not a lot of these young guys are gonna be getting into the lineup or becoming stars, so when there is better talent available, whether you're flipping it or keeping it, sometimes you gotta do it.

As for the capping at 24, you're right on that too, but given the fact ELCs are exempt, taking 23 and 24 year olds is a necessity for a team that is going to have no system or prospects yet.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>firezfurx</b></div><div>Marchand and Bergeron will be done. I'd give their spots to Konecny and Barzal.

Same with Doughty and Gio. And won't Makar be team NA?</div></div>

I think Marchand will still be around, I would be very close to giving Bergeron's spot to Barzal but I know the management of these teams typically take the older guys with international experience. Doughty and Gio, Doughty's contract all but guarantees he will be around for a while longer and again, the experience and veteran presence would make him pretty valuable. Giordano I could see retiring the year before this, so i would probably put someone like Theodore/Morrissey/Ellis in his spot.

For Makar, I don't know if they're going to do another North America team, and this was purely hypothetical since we don't know when the next international event with NHL players will be.

Notes:
- I don't know if you would have to pay to dump Baertschi. Might be able to do 5th + him for a 5th or something. Minor detail, the idea is right.
- Gaudette needs more. I would think somewhere around 2M or so, for 2-3 years. Similar to the deal of Connor Brown a few years ago.
- One more year is gonna be needed for Markstrom. It sucks because of Demko and DiPietro, but he's gonna want that 4th year because he will get it anywhere else. Again, minor detail.
- Motte, Virtanen, and Leivo all make sense.
- I would sign one of Tyler Madden and Linus Karlsson, and William Lockwood 100% (UFA in August if not signed)

- Interesting one to watch is Tanev. My opinion is that if you are going to trade Stetcher (clears about 3m in RFA money), you should be aiming higher than Tanev. Do you go for someone like Barrie and give him 7M? I don't think so, but it could be an option.
- I do like the contract you gave Tanev, it makes sense even if it is a little bit steep from my preference. If you are keeping Tanev:
- I don't really like moving Stetcher, I would rather see him stay. Honestly I would trade Benn and use the money to sign Stetcher. Leave Fantenberg as the 7th and reunite Stetcher and Tryamkin from a few years back. I love the depth Defence that we could have, but IDK if I trust Fantenberg, Tryamkin, Juolevi, Rafferty, etc. yet. I would sign Stetcher for another year and move him at the deadline if needed. Remember, Edler only has one year left after this.

Also, the cap is projected to go up by about 1M, so that would make up the difference in what I am suggesting. (I'll post my similar ACGM later)
