Trade 1:
To New Jersey: Johnny Gaudreau, Oliver Kylington (RFA)
To Calgary: 2020 1st round pick (7th Overall)

Trade 2:
To Ottawa: Derek Ryan, Mark Jankowski (RFA)
To Calgary: 2021 2nd round pick (NYI)

Trade 3:
To Columbus: 2020 2nd round pick, 2021 2nd round pick
To Calgary: Josh Anderson (RFA)

Draft:
7th Overall - Jamie Drysdale
20th Overall - Hendrix Lapierre

Sign:
Taylor Hall (7 years, $8M AAV)
Robin Lehner (6 years, $7M AAV)
Colin Blackwell (2 years, $1.25M AAV)
Alan Quine (2 years, $750K)
Tobias Rieder (2 years, $800K)
Michael Stone (2 years, $725K - $700K in 20/21, $750K in 21/22)

Andrew Mangiapane (2 years, $2.275M AAV)
Josh Anderson (2 years, $3M AAV)

Tkachuk - Monahan - Lindholm
Hall - Bennett - Dube
Mangiapane - Backlund - Anderson
Lucic - Blackwell - Rieder
Quine

Hanifin - Andersson
Giordano - Drysdale
Valimaki - Mackey (The Mackeys!)
Stone

Lehner
Rittich

Salary: $80,339,166

That would leave about $1.135M in cap-space for bonuses (Dube, Valimaki, Drysdale), and any call-ups.

I’d then protect:
Tkachuk
Monahan
Lindholm
Hall
Bennett
Dube
Whoever has the best season between: Mangiapane, Backlund, Anderson

Hanifin
Andersson
Giordano

Lehner

So we’d be exposing (at the NHL level):

David Rittich
Michael Stone
Quine
Blackwell
Rieder
Lucic
And two of Backlund, Mangiapane, Anderson - one of which we would lose undoubtedly.
I hate that Gaudreau trade.
