This offseason and next season should be about dumping salary and opening up space in the lineup for the young players. The only players that should be resigned from current roster are the four RFA. No one else should be retained, including Palmeri. The main goal is to open up cap space at any cost regardless if you are giving players up for Future Considerations. If you want Marner this must be done at the draft. I don’t know how you move Engvall or DuClair?
JG is the easiest to move, but the most talented and valuable. Lee and Mayfield are tougher, but not impossible. Marner is more a move for the future than it is for next season. Which is a tough sell to Marner. A lot of people will ask if he is worth the 13.5x7? I think he is in terms of 200 ft any situation play, and with the young talent like Eiserman coming soon. If you don’t get him, we most likely will have another non playoff season and possibly will anyway. This team won’t start to blossom until 2027-2028 season. At least we have a charted course after dropping anchor all those years.

Good for Lou! Buffalo certainly has had problems. I guess they would just want to access why they aren’t progressing.
