Also, for Treliving to execute a trade in time, he’d have to receive a list of 8 teams Milan is willing to be traded to and I suspect most teams aren’t in a position to know exactly how much they will sit above or below next season’s cap floor. There’s just not enough time to do all that when Treliving he’s tied up with Johnny’s situation. So in the grand scheme of things, we’re probably stuck with Looch which would be roughly $60M tied up to just 10 forwards.

Add the 2 goalies under contract and we’re up to $67M which leads to $15M for 7 defensemen and 3 forwards in your scenario...so yeah...like I said previously, players will have to go. Good players.
I guess I would rather it be the middle tier guys than the stars. Otherwise this team will be boring to watch next year. But it’s really all gonna come down to what Johnny does. Kind of frustrating this having to wait and see!
