Maybe try and sign Ryan Lindgren if the contract isn't too expensive.
We don't need to be in on any big time players, they will be too pricey.

I agree. Provorov is going to get 7 years and probably over 9M AAV. I picked the top LD on the UFA list. If the team isn't going to tank, they need a top pair LD to try an anchor the second pair while Weegar makes Bahl look like a star on the top pair.
My expectation is that we are on the tank plan for next season as I think we were on the tank plan for this season. If Conroy avoids signing UFAs and only promotes from within (I think he should keep Vladar to play 25-30 games) then I think it is a high risk, high reward plan.
The risk is that playing a pile of rookies could tank the team but the reward is that our prospects see players getting promoted, which I think is good for the "culture", and there is a chance that they succeed.
