Not sure how much a “blank cheque” is going to help things in a cap league given their situation. Projected to have about 12 million in space next season with only 11 players on their roster. Big money locked up in:
JVR
Atkinson
Konecny
Provorov
Farabee
Hayes
Ellis
Couturier

Couturier and Ellis done for the season. I wonder if they are more willing to move some of their older players as part of the aggressive retool.
