Awww yes, the Shero excuse.This is a wild idea, but maybe some forwards just don't want to play here

So I thought I should do a non sarcasm post. Let’s forget about signings. Is their any legit trades that people would like to look at?

I personally would like to make 0 trades and run with what we got. Maybe get a better back up goalie.So I thought I should do a non sarcasm post. Let’s forget about signings. Is their any legit trades that people would like to look at?

Yeah there’s no one of any real value that we should trade. I mean McCann would have the most value out of potential expendables but he’s also one of our best bottom 6 players too.
I’m looking for a smart RW that would be a really good 3rd liner. Internal cap and asset wise things would have to line up pretty well.
Drop ZAR for a bag of pucks. Demote Laff or Ruh or both.
Sign Granlund for 2.5M for 1 year
Zucker-Sid-Granlund/Kap
Guentzel-Geno-Rust
McCann-Bleuger-Kap/Granlund
Rod-Jank-Tanev
Scev

And then when injuries happen, we just run Riikola as the 4th line wing? Maybe bump Matheson up to the third line?
You have Scev as an extra. Call up Laff, O'Connor, other young guy when injuries occur...
Are you worried about replacing ZAR with Granlund?
I didn’t look at the numbers but does it work cap wise if you sign Granlund and send guys down?
For example if an injury is only IR and not LTIR they’re still against the cap. Can you still bring someone up?
Any of the top 6 free agents available, even before the free agent signing period would have no reason to sign in Pittsburgh for 3rd/4th line minutes because the top 6 has pretty much been set since before free agency. So everyone saying they would sign, that is the reason they would not want to sign in Pittsburgh.

Subtracting ZAR and Laff brings us 3M capspace. Granlund at 2.5 leaves roughly .5M.
I believe LTIR is the only way to go over the limit BUT when do we not have a good player on LTIR? I think we'd have a little wiggle room with call ups.
My plan leaves our roster with 13F 8D. Maybe I need a cap guru to balance me but my idea sounds good to myself.
