Fixed for you
- Accept the tank and to pursue a Top 4 pick, provide controlled playing time for prospects for experience and assessment of their progress, and stack as much future value as possible with non-core assets
- Trade Patrick Kane, save him till the TDL to reduce his caphit and remove his protestations about disruption to his family, etc. - sell him on a cup run (FLA, WAS, TOR) - feels like a 2nd Rd pick (55+ range)
- Trade Alex Lyon to a goalie-needy team near the cap - sooner the better to start the tank (again, a 2nd feels accurate given the cap hit, CAR, VAN)
- There is probably a world where Tyler Motte, Christian Fisher could be moved but I fail to see the point at this junction and just let it ride with depth
- Throughout the rest of the 24-25 season, run rotations around Wallinder, Buium, Mazur, Hanas, and Soderblom on multiple game stints up and then swapping out to get them exposure and see if any of them have a future
- Make sure to finish in the Bottom 5 of the League
Off-season!
Go into next year with:
- Line up a 2nd Pair RHD and offer draft capital (from the 2024 TDL) + Rasmussen/Veleno to secure a veteran LHD on a decent contract and term (2-3yrs) to confidently slot in the 2nd to carry
- Do not get F***** by the lottery and secure a Top 5 Lottery Pick
- If you do get F***** by the lottery and end up with..8th or something, offer all your picks in 2025 with the team with 5th OA to move up
- Draft Hagens, Martone, Misa, Frondell, or Desnoyers - whatever elite forward you can get your hands on
- Try to offload Chiarot, Holl, or Gustafsson final yr to teams looking for defensive depth (given the rising cap, some might take a chance on adding a vet sub 5M with 1yr left)
Debrincat - Larkin - Raymond

Don't see soderblom ever being a 4th liner . We just have to suck it up and eat salary to dump some guys . Compher at 4 million available teams will come knockingFixed for you
