You can’t discard good players because you’re stuck with bad players or paying mediocre ones too much money. The GM has to find a way to offload his makes/under-performers (and better yet, don’t pay them in the first place). If he can’t do that, then he shouldn’t have his job.
The moment we lose one of Tkachuk/Gaudreau/Mangiapane, then we immediately need to replace that player. This team doesn’t have top-six wingers just sitting around waiting to get into the lineup.
Every year we see teams somehow figure out how to manage difficult cap situations without ejecting their best players.
