With Lehner out all season and presumably Weber and Patrick also, Vegas can sign Hague to something like three years 2.75, Leschyshyn to the same deal as Rondbjerg and still have about 2.1 million left to offer Stastny to help our third line be decent. Assuming we don't get another goalie.
Stephenson Eichel Stone
Marchessault Karlsson Smith
Stastny (2,145,833) Roy Amadio
Carrier Howden Kolesar
(Dorofeyev Brisson)
Martinez Pietrangelo
McNabb Theodore
Hague (2.75) Whitecloud
(Hutton)
Thompson
Hutchinson
Brossoit (IR)
Weber, Lehner, Patrick (LTIR)
That would put us right at the cap with 23 roster and 1 IR so our ACSL would be the same as the salary cap. While also being able to run a 23 man roster and have expensive extras like Brisson and Dorofeyev in the lineup if need be. It also allows some wiggle room to trade out Brossoit and bring in an upgrade while maintaining a 23 man roster by sending Hutchinson down.
