If you are Tre, how do you just go ahead and get that done?
And once you paint yourself in to a corner, how might your fellow GMs offer to help you out?

It's actually not that hard. They only need to move one of Czarnik or Jankowski to make it work, don't feel like those contracts should be hard to move.

That would probably be too close to the cap. But if it's Jankowski you move instead of Czarnik then you'd have closer to $500k in cap space instead. Other option is to only go with 12 forwards and not carry any extras.

Or if they can't make a trade then you just run with 12 forwards and bury Czarnik in the minors.

The buried contract amount is $1,075,000 for this year, so he only would count as $175k against the cap in the minors.
