For gods sake hopefully no. But probably
do we even have the cap space at this point in time?

I see that, a bit of a loser strategy in year 6 of your rebuild. Cool, they flip Fabbri at the deadline for another pick.
At some point, they need to unload all those assets to acquire contracted NHL players so players are interested in playing there. Gonna be awhile.

I'm actually fine with bringing both back. Clutterbuck is better than Fasching and Martin becomes the depth forward you sub in to punch faces.

I agree with Cal > Fasching - maybe .775k with games played bonuses - no more than 500k that possibly rolls over to next year.
The only way I see Martin is if they start Maclean in Bridgeport - there will be injuries, however I think the kid has earned his spot

Fasching can kick rocks.
I wouldn’t mind the kid but he needs to play a fourth line type of role when he’s on the fourth line. When he’s with Nelson he can play more finesse but when he’s on the bottom lines he needs to be more physical.

This is why I think Lou should hold onto the first round pick for now. A lot of good players could be up for grabs at the trade deadline, see where the team is at and go out and grab someone if they are in a good position. Get the 8th year of term if it’s a younger guy and lock them up.
Pinto is a decent young player, but giving up a 1st+ for a guy that isn’t proven is a lot to give up.

We’re losing Ishkahov . Sucks. Kid has legit skill. Should have been given a shot or traded
He was given a shot. He got bounced off his skates. The guy couldn't score at even strength in the AHL. I can't imagine he would have done much better in the big leagues.
Kid was not gonna make it in the nhl. No loss here.
Are you referring to Iskhakov? He was given a QO but apparently wanted a guarantee of an NHL job. He showed nothing to earn a spot. How many Europeans have gone back home rather than continue to fight for an NHL job?

I think sometimes we assume trading someone requires a team to want that player . . . Isk, Wally, etc., are not always movable
