- Helm traded at 2020 deadline or summer.
- Others let walk.

This would be total ~84.2M with Zetterberg included. So we would have 6M LTIR space after that.

After Nielsen and Abdelkader are gone, there's 9 million of that dead weigth to be used for something else. Also Weiss 1.6M caphit is gone in a year.

This is how our rebuild will end. One scenario. It happens very fast, when the time is right. Just need some elite pieces who like to join, we already have the depth core in place.
Hronek isn't an RFA yet, $714,166 cap hit for 20-21. Also I'd hope the team keeps McIlrath over Bowey, but I could see them keeping Mc in GR for insurance & mentor/protector.

Uhh... how did I miss that Hronek thing. But on big picture, year later, will be 5M dollar man when extended.

But yeah, same thoughts for McIlrath, I think we'll keep him and keep also Bowey for expansion draft purposes.

Nope...He's 28 and by the time we'd be ready for playoffs/to contend, he'll be another older player on a large contract with no end in sight.

Nobody at the moment. We suck and will still suck next year. If you add Taylor Hall to this roster we are still terrible.

You have to add somebody first. Then you add the next guy and then next.

Every free Elite asset is a no-brainer.

You add a primary weapon and then you can trade your secondary guys from a surplus and fix another holes on the team.

No-brainer signing.

But you need to sign people to get good!

Oh no, we are caught in a time paradox. We have to travel back in time before the Borg can sabotage our rebuild and prevent us from making First Draft Pick!

Eh, Pete Mahavolich didn't do anything until he was with the Canadians anyway. Maybe if we let the Borg screw that up we can inadvertently screw up Montreal, too.
