Two more years.I'm looking for a easy way out of Holl that doesn't involve retaining money and sending a pick or prospect to another team. Does Abby's buyout come off the books this offseason?

Agreed, don't know how but I'd try for Ullmark or Saros. I'd like to see Pecse for a dman but pretty much agree on it all.1... we need to get a goalie who an reliably play 55 games a season until Cossa can (so at least 2 more seasons)
2. We need to substantially upgrade our top 3 on the blueline via trade or free agency
3. SE needs to be the among the top 4 other blueline from day one
4. We need a proven top 6 forward AND resign Kane
5. One of Kasper, Danielson or Mazur need to make the roster from day one
6. Holl, Ghost, Fabbri, Perron and Husso need to be gone
Two more years.

Maybe see if Dubas still has a thing for Holl, might need to retain some, but I would happily do it.
Retaining say 25-33% wouldn't be the end of the world, but I don't want to send a pick/prospect with him. So maybe I would retain 50% if a expiring contract came back to us.
Honestly...why not?
We have 4 Dmen not good enough eating valuable cap space and roster spots
Petry
Holl
Chariot
Matta
Something has to give here to improve this team outside of just waiting contracts out or press boxing money
Ahhh okBecause over the next 2-3 year's the Wings will improve to a solid playoff team and when you're picking 24th-32nd those types of players available at that stage of the draft take an easy 3-5 year's to develop. So it will be unlikely we get early development Ala Larkin from those spots because 75% of the league has to miss those picks.
Over the next 2-3 year's when we are picking say 14th-23rd they will be the last picks we make that can hit the roster before the end of their first contracts. So I would be very conservative in doling them out for roster mistake signings.
Ahhh ok
So no interest to improve the team before that then? We will not bench holl, maata, petry and husso and we eill not improve with them still all on the roster
Petry is fine is a #7 and has 1 year left. Maata is a expiring contract and might not be back if Steve has faith Al Jo is ready for the show. Husso again has 1 year remaining and isn't vital to get rid of. Holl of the three is here for longer than 1 year so yes I would look into moving him, but with are prospect contracts isn't worth losing one unless it's a B or C value prospect, but when you look at us to move into the middle of the league we won't see high quality picks much longer and could effect the team much more so then 1 year of a bum deal.
Copp wouldn't surprise me to be a buyout when Abby's deal falls off the books, but I would prefer it not be done until he has 2 years remaining. So it isn't on our cap hit for more than 4 year's, though in all honesty, it would be best if he was bought out in his final year so he is only on the books for 2.
Maybe SY will shock us all and get a hockey deal done with Calgary this summer, Calgary is looking to get out of $6M goalie contract...and they are short a few picks in 2025 and could use a righty D...something likeRetaining say 25-33% wouldn't be the end of the world, but I don't want to send a pick/prospect with him.

To Wings
Jacob Markstrom (+6m 2 years)
To Flames
Justin Holl (+3.4M 2 years)
Detroit 2025 4th round pick (from Bruins) or if we must, wings 3rd.
SY would have to find a taker for Husso if he needs to find some space or waive him and assign to GR until an injury to the one of Markstrom or Lyons.
I think Cossa will at the very least find some time for a cup of coffee next year with the wings and be the full time 1B the next year (2026), so Markstrom would be here until Cossa is hopefully more or less ready for 1A duties.
The move actually costs the wings money, but the short term 1A goalie would hopefully be solved and should make the wings more consistent and not block Cossa unduly.
We'll see, depends upon the market, but you never know, Wolf is not waiver exempt starting 25/26, they may want the cap space and there may or may not be a market for him if Jersey gets SarosMarkstrom will cost more than that, like a good deal more.
Wonder if Chicago would want him back?We should try trade Debrincat before his no move kicks in
Don't keep any of the UFAs. The team isn't good enough to warrant bringing them all back. Except maybe Fischer at his old deal.
We need a 2nd pairing RD to play with Ed
We need two 2nd line wingers (Burger + someone not Perron or Kane or Sprong or Fabbri)
We need to allow Cossa to compete for a spot
Alex DeBrincat has the best 5 on 5 goal differential of any forward on the team. I want more players that outscore the opposition, not less.

Depending on Kane I'm not as concerened with scoring, but we need to do something with our backend. Goalie is such a hard postion but we havent had a standout in years and hopefully we have something in our prospects there. Defence and team defence as a whole are something else and I dont see anything there for another couple seasonsMaybe Stevie can sign Pesce and Sam Rinehart (wishful thinking I know) in the summer. We could use more scoring and a defenseman.
Let Perron, Reimer, and Ghost walk, find a sucker to trade Holl to, maybe re-sign Sprong and Kane if the prices are decent.
