The job when you take over
- Only $1.38M of cap space. There's almost no room to add salary, so improving this team means trading money out first.
- 9 contracts end after this season, so next summer's re-signing window decides who stays.
- 5 first-round picks over the next three drafts (including 2027 (from VGK), 2028 (from COL)): the ammunition for a big trade, or a fast rebuild.
