Ya'll may not like this proposal, but here it is anyway.
1) Anders Bjork to Vegas for Nikita Gusev
2) Sign Gusev to his 2 year $8 million deal ($4 million AAV)
3) LTIR John Moore and Kevan Miller to start the year
4) Leaves you with $1.2 million in cap space (of course, you have to be compliant when healthy)
See roster below
5) Once one of Moore/Miller are healthy, 14 day conditioning stint in the AHL
6) Trade that player while on conditioning stint for whatever
7) the other player becomes healthy, demote Kampfer and Backes and voila, cap compliant.
