Something has to happen anyways. Unless tha cap goes to $86 mil, this team needs to move 1 player that makes a few mil or more.
Trade:
Mangiapane or Dube, both players are young and the return likely is not great.
Trade:
Backlund or Toffoli or Tanev or Markstrom. Tanev seems to be the guy we suck the most without. The other 3 are older but I feel like we may have someone to replace them in the AHL. Markstrom is least likely to move though.
If you want to improve your prospect pool while moving guys out it's much better to do it at the deadline though. Teams are looking at the cup now and likely care less about picks and cap when they are chasing a cup. Cap is tight though but there is expiring contracts that you can take back or injuries that will give teams a Tampa scenario.
Falling into the top 10 of this draft would be a huge bonus for thsi team. If Tanev is out long term and you trade Backlund, we will be drafting in the top 10.
