[Flamescuprun2018]

1. Trade Andersson. Max value in off season retained. We will get a 2027 1st and a A prospect (please be a center). I like Conny having at least 2 first round picks per year. We need to clear roster spots for next and better wave of offensive right shot Dmen.

2. Keep Coleman this year to teach the youth. Can always move him for a high pick in his final year of contract at trade deadline if he wants one last shot with a contender.

3. Backs has earned the right to retire a Flame if he wishes.

4. Rooney should be gone. Conny really wants a right shot center on the team for faceoffs in a 3C or 4C role depending on Backs regression. That should be our UFA target.

5. UFA right shot center signing only. Preferably a short term deal if a 3C or 4C.

6. Pachal can stay especially as insurance for a year or two until young D are ready. In the right age range.

7. Move Bean in a trade if you think Solov/Kuznet are ready. Ras and Bean have value to add a bit of draft capital. Conny wants 8-9 picks per year to keep cupboard stocked.

8. Hanley is gone as UFA

9. Miromanov under contract one more year. Will be a tweener next year with Wranglers and Flames if injuries.

10. Parekh will start with Flames. He might be a third pair at beginning of season but over time he will move into top 4 and becomes PP1 quarterback before end of season.
