Giving Schenn a raise similar to Coots wont be an issue, cap will most likely go up next year, Luke will be off the books and replaced by an ECL, i could imagine Streit will also be off the books for an ECL. We will probably be rid of Umberger, Vinny and one more forward and replaced by players like Kone an NAK on ECLs. I have a feeling a lot of salary will be shed from now and next summer. To note, i know we werent in position to get much at deadlines but Hexy doesnt seem like that guy. He has done well drafting and is in position to build a detriot like system.
Our core going forward looks like it includes Schenn
G, Jake, Coots, Schenn and Simmer
Then,
Laughton, Prov, Sanhiem, Ghost, Kone, Morin
