Probably get rid of Kuzmenko, Mantha, Rooney, Barrie and Hanley salaries after this year. Guessing they’d start rolling in some of their Wrangler D men to replace Hanley and Barrie. Especially if Miromanov experiment is over.
They need some scoring horsepower though. I don’t see any of that coming from the wranglers. Might need one or two journeymen free agents on shorter contracts or the potential Anderson trade for forward/center help.
Vladar is the one guy that will have to be moved if they don’t see him in the longterm plans. I would not have a problem with them keeping him. He’s cheap and he can win you games.

I think they will either move Vladar or let him walk in the offseason. Suspect Conroy will give Cooley a chance either way next year. They seem high on him and if they don’t give him a chance next year he will almost certainly move to a team that will give him a chance after next year.
