For Blake, Luc, Hiller, Sturm and everyone in between .
Buyout Player Lacks Desire (cut bait)
Let scouting department run the draft!
Hire a GM and whatever the f*** Lucs title is once other teams have purged their organizations.
Announce to the team that we are going to do a 90% rebuild and anyone who wants out is free to go.
Don’t resign any of the UFA’s
Sign Byfield to a bridge deal and tell him kid your gonna get all the minutes you can handle let’s see what you’ve got.
Clarke, Turcotte, Thomas, and Arty get roles to sink or swim with a long leash.
Pick up a coach that develops young talent (he’s a bridge also).
Doughty wants out for sure unless seeing his kid is important.
Gavrikov most likely wants out but hold onto him onto TDL and maximize value.
Trade Fiala whether he wants out or not he isn’t worth the brain farts and is always a net loss.
By trading Drew and Fiala you most definitely get 1st rounders this year plus. You probably get two from the leafs if you retain 3 mil
Gavrikov at the TDL gets you a 2025 1st and 2nd!
