That is a fun exercise. TIL, as a Flames fan, I am glad I am not the GM. After assuming that the Flames pay a premium for Guadreau, do not resign Tkachuk, buyout Monahan, can't move Looch, and make some trades, here's the result for the 22/23 season
Gaudreau 11M Lindholm 4.85M Mangiapane 7M
Duclair 3M Zacha 3.9M Toffoli 4.25
Debrusk 4M Jarnkrok 3M Coleman 4.9M
Lucic 5.25 Ruzicka 2M Lewis 800K
Kylington 5M Andersson 4.55M
Tanev 4.5M Gudas 2.5M
Clifton 1M Valimaki 1.55M
Markstrom 6M
Vladar 750K
Trades involved were Hanifin to Fla for Duclair and Gudas
Backlund and Dube to Boston for Debrusk and Clifton
Why do the teams do these trades? I dunno. Fla has offence but could use better defense? Debrusk and Dube are reclamation projects and the Bruins miss Krejci at centre and Clifton is expendable.
Zacha signed as an RFA
Monahan bought out - cap hit 2.375M
