A full tank next year is going to be most difficult to do with the team first/win now leaders on this team. Although with Vladar and Wolf we likely drop back into bottom 10.
The cap space is the most intriguing part for me. If they move Markstrom at draft. Which is likely. This becomes an even bigger cap space.
Sign ~2 quality UFAs on one year deals without NTC or NMC. Overpay them to get them. You have tonnes of cap space for that.
Then flip them all at deadline for more picks by retaining salary or with cap dump back.
Although I admit there is not any room in our lineup for those players unless some off-season moves.
Mangiapane is likely also gone. Much better for a Pelletier or other young player for Backs/Goalmans wing to learn.
Sharkey will re-sign I bet. Conroy is creating a culture of opportunity for diamonds in the rough. There is a large degree of loyalty/thankfulness that such trust instills in players. Conroy is also willing to hold to a fair price for the player or bye-bye.
