Leaving out young guys and UFA's, we have these vets to dispose of in order to go full tank.
Goalie:
Price - Unmovable contract with NMC
Defense:
Petry - Decent contract but limited NTC
Edmondson - Decent contract but limited NTC
Savard - Unmovable contract no NTC
Forwards:
Byron - 1 more year can be moved with retention for picks
Drouin - 1 more year can be moved with retention for picks
Lehkonen - RFA and can be moved for picks
Dvorak - Can be moved for similar return to what was paid
Toffoli - Decent contract and no NTC
Hoffman - Decent contract and no NTC
Armia - Decent contract and no NTC
Anderson - Contract can probably be moved
Gallagher - Unmovable contract with NMC
Not all of them should be purged but the ones that should have NTC's and NMC's that will limit the market.
That's a lot of trades to make in a short time (now until June) to realize the full tank.
Good post - I just wanted to add on / give opinions within your stuff
Goalie:
Price - Unmovable contract with NMC - people will overate him - especially after his playoffs - still a tough contract to trade but moveable IMO
Defense:
Petry - Decent contract but limited NTC - he will need to figure it out if we want to trade him - being a RH really helps
Edmondson - Decent contract but limited NTC - somebody will want him for size/playoffs
Savard - Unmovable contract no NTC - so bad - alzner 2.0
Forwards:
Byron - 1 more year can be moved with retention for picks - not sure a small forward with injury issues getting real money can be moved (if with retention)
Drouin - 1 more year can be moved with retention for picks - could be moved
Lehkonen - RFA and can be moved for picks - tough to read on what others think of him - coaches seem to love him
Dvorak - Can be moved for similar return to what was paid - agreed
Toffoli - Decent contract and no NTC - great contract and can be moved for lots of things imo
Hoffman - Decent contract and no NTC - tough to read on what others think of him
Armia - Decent contract and no NTC - can be moved for that size/depth type
Anderson - Contract can probably be moved - to me this is probably the toughest to move - long deal on a just okay player with a bad deal
Gallagher - Unmovable contract with NMC - reputation and heart will make him an option for a few GMs
