I don't know if moving Monahan's cap hit would be realistic.
I also don't see them shedding Ritchie as he's the perfect 13th forward to management/Sutter and he wouldn't be sought after either.
It looks like Valimaki's $1.55M might be one of the few movable salaries to open up that inch of cap room they would need to make an acquisition without disturbing the current roster. But I also don't know if I would gamble Valimaki on one playoff run.
If you can find a clear upgrade, the salary i would look to move the other way is Dube's. But again, I doubt the team is willing to part ways with Dillon either since he has played a role in this group and has helped elevate Monahan.
