The Preds are close to the cap. They are technically over, but they could start with a 20 player roster and become compliant.
I wonder if we could get Jeremy Lauzon from them. He's 6'1" with high PIMs, 2 more years at 2M. Something around Lauzon for JBD and a pick.
They also have Fabbro and Schenn. I don't think Fabbro is a fit for what we need on the bottom pairing. Schenn is declining and has too much money and term but if they were willing to bundle a 2nd with him, maybe they could do a deal where we get Schenn and a 3rd party team gets a 2nd for retaining half. Schenn at 1.375M x 2 is a lot more tolerable than at almost 3M.
