If we traded Ryan for a pick, re-signed Mangiapane for $3mill, and filled the rest of the roster (13F, 7D) with league minimum contracts we would still only have about $3mill of cap space.
I’m not sure what impactful forward we could add for that, let alone Hall!?
It’s unfortunate, because I think we need to add another good forward, but we don’t have cap space and there is no one else left to trade without getting worse except Lucic who is not going anywhere.
We might have to trade Ryan just to get us under the cap when it’s all said and done. Mangiapane seems to play hardball in contract negotiations.
