I'm gonna take a stab at a Coyotes trade proposal, then UFA signings. I'm bored at work, go easy on me lol

To Coyotes: 2021 1st Round Pick, 2021 3rd Round Pick, Noah Hanifin, David Rittich, Milan Lucic
To Flames: Darcy Kuemper, Phil Kessel (10% retained), Kyle Capobianco, Taylor Hall rights

I know it appears to add to the Coyotes cap short term but it rids them of the Kessel contract and saves some cap there. Hanifin gives them the means to trade OEL at the draft for picks + prospects and shave that entire salary. Rittich is $2 million cheaper then Kuemper and can play tandem with Raanta. Getting rid of OEL as stated plus the above trade saves the Coyotes $10.87 million in salary cap and gets them a 1st and 3rd round pick in 2021, plus whatever the OEL return is.

Flames give up next years 1st but hopefully that is a late 20's pick anyway. Going for it. 3rd rounder will likely be replaced by Oilers 3rd as I can't see Oil giving up the pick this year so we'll have two 3rd's next year. Flames get their starter for 2 years at least, Hall's rights to sign an 8 year deal, and a good D prospect. Kessel may be able to provide more offense than Lucic playing against other teams 4th lines.

Trade Derek Ryan for a 4th to whomever.

Sign Pietrangelo to 7 x 8.25
Sign Hall to 8 x 7.0
Re-sign Reider at 1 x 0.7 (same as last contract)
Re-sign Mangiapane at 2 x 1.75
Keep 1.0 million to sign 3rd pairing/7th defenseman or promote prospect
Keep 2.0 million to sign backup goalie, should be more then enough given the number of goalies available and the flat cap.

We would need to promote two forward prospects or sign a league min vet. I also have Valimaki on 2nd pairing and players like Makar, Fox and Hughes have proven that young D at that level can step into important roles and hold their own easily. Trust the youth.

Leaves you with....

Gaudreau (6.75) - Monahan (6.375) - Tkachuk (7.0)
Hall (7.0) - Backlund (5.35) - Lindholm (4.85)
Mangiapane (1.75) - Bennett (3.125) - Dube (0.778)
Kessel (6.12) - Prospect? (0.894) - Reider (0.700)
Prospect/Vet? (0.800)

Giordano (6.75) - Andersson (4.55)
Valimaki (0.894) - Pietrangelo (8.25)
TBD (1.0) - Kylington (0.894)
Mackey (0.925)

Kuemper (4.55)
TBD Backup (2.0)

Total Cap Used - 81.255
Cap Space Remaining - 0.245
