I want to see us:

Take a 1 or 2 year LTIR contract.  No chance of us accruing cap this year.  Not likely to be that good a team next couple years and so not being able to go nuts at the deadline would be great.

Get in on one of these cap strapped teams an weaponize our cap to shake a young D or C loose.

Weaponize our cap to trade one of our wingers on a bad contract for a better C or D on a similarly bad contract. (ie a centre that makes 1-2 million more than should for a winger that makes 1-2 more).  This was the Boeser for Johansen idea.  Overpriced winger for overpriced centre that costs more.  Use cap space to pay the position premium.

Go after unsigned prospects and Euro UFAs like last year to get free prospects.

Only go after UFAs on short, reasonable deals.  Don't do what we know PA will do and sign Barbashev to a deal that is too long and too big only to discover he is really just another winger.

Agreed. Given the premium on cap space, that will be interesting to track as we approach the draft and UFA

It would be such a waste if we squander the buyout flexibility on a couple UFAs and called it a day.

Time to weaponize that cap.  Let's actually use some of the tools at our disposal other than overpaying players for what they did for other teams.

Who are your potential targets for a trade like this? 
 

The only trades so far have been giving players away with retention.

With the rumours that the Canucks like a number of prospects and the rumours a few months ago, feels like we may trade down if teams go off the board ahead of pick 11.  Nashville, Chicago or Buffalo maybe?

Allvin just said otherwise - expects to stay at 11.

Would still be in the camp of Miller and Rathbone to Car for Kotkaniemi, Morrow and a late 1st.  If we drafted Danielson and Strbak then we’d have C and RD depth of:


C:

 

Pettersson

Kotkanieni

Danielson

Raty

 

RD:

 

Hronek

Morrow

Strbak

Johansson

 

Creates competition and works for me!

I know Allvin said earlier today he plans to stick with the 11th pick, but...

 

To CLB:

Miller

Rathbone or Hoglander

11th pick

 

To VAN:

3rd pick (Leo Carlsson)

Bean or Peeke

 

One can only dream...

We'd have to give up more.

Everyone should be prepared to pick at 11 and that’s it 

 

nothing will happen with trades 

 

 

Only Alvin needs to be prepared to use his first-round pick. That being said, you have no idea what will transpire between now and when the draft starts tomorrow. None.

 

Outside of Vintage, no one here really has any clue what will occur.
