Best use of cap and picks

[markog]

Yeah Id give up like that 18th pick + mcleod + something else to get Carlo. He is perfect for what we need

You can probably get Ekblad for something simular.

How about this for a scenario.
Vegas is close to re-signing Robin Lehner. Devils acquire Marc-Andre Fleury with Vegas first round pick for the full cap hit.

Then we immediately flip Fleury at 50% retention to another team that needs a starter for two second round picks.

Devils walk away with a late 1st and two 2nds for a $3.5m cap hit on the books for two years.

make it a 2021 1st with lottery protection and hope it transfers to an unprotected to 2022.
