2 good goalies - not a ton of term, but they can probably lock down Sorokin if they want to.
Barzal isn't as good as Lindholm [yet], but Nelson-Pageau is probably a better 2-3 punch that Backlund-Monahan at this point, and at a slightly lower AAV.
Palmieri is their most regrettable contract at this point, but he could easily bounce back. Everyone else is pretty much fair value to their production, even in the bad last year.
They'd need to make a bit more room since they need to re-sign Dobson, but I don't think it would be too hard to move Bailey or maybe Varlamov.

Lameriello doesn't usually go crazy on outside free agents but he did sign that completely bonkers 15 year, 100 million dollar Kovalchuk contract back in the day.
