Got bored, made another one of these to just get weird:
Trade Atkinson (50% retained) + Hayes (50% retained) to Columbus for LAK 1st and Mateychuk.
Trade Provy to Chicago for TBL 1st and TBL 2nd.
Trade Hart + LAK 1st to the Kings for Brandt Clarke.

This is the kind of team that can ride the bottom of the cap floor for a year or two until better and younger players start showing up.
But knowing who is in charge here with the Flyers, they wouldn't have the balls to go this far.
Don't think you can trade Atkinson until he plays and teams know he's healthy, maybe at the TDL, but hard with another year on his deal.
Hayes should get a 3rd, maybe a 2nd (38 ES points in a bad situation) with retention/bad contract coming back
If you trade Hart, he should garner a 1st and 2nd, young starting goalies on reasonable contracts are gold in trades.
Provorov should get a good return, but Chicago? Might be early for them.
Laughton should be traded.
