I only see Anisimov moved after the season with a UFA being signed as a replacement. The rest are either ummoveable or are young and have promise. Maybe Saad if it brings back a top 4 defenseman. Other than that, I think what we see is what we get.
A quickie blog idea Tyler, what place from the bottom will the Hawks fall. I can t see them fall to bottom five, although you have to think the air has been sucked out of the building with each win by those fighting for wildcard
Sign Kampf $1.5 mil
Add the #6 +/- pick draft at RW and hope he is NHL ready. $1 mil ELC.
Sign stud 1/2LD and a really good 3C $13 mil combined. (focus on Dman.)
Sign, trade for or Hayden as 4RW $1 mil to $2 mil
Sign back up goalie or Delia/Lankinen $1 mil to $3 mil
Sign Koekkoek (or the like) and Perlini (or the like) as the extra defender & extra forward $2 mil total. (Other options could be Sikura or a surprise like Entwistle, Barratt, etc..)
Grand Total $81,505,128
Cap $82,000,000
If you can move Anisimov that creates another $4.55mil in cap space. But then you need to add a 3/4 LW/C. So you probably do not net much of a cap savings.

Where you going to find that stud 1/2LD on the UFA market, I don't see any.

Who are the stud 1/2 LD and the 3C who will sign for $13M?
How will these signings impact Strome/Cat signings the next season?

good number crunching. Dog, and Crow comes off next year. a good blueprint

Crow comes off the books nest year. You have to hope you have a cheaper option in goal. (Delia/Forsberg/Nalimov/Lankinen).
You need to move AA and replace him with players on their entry level contracts.
Then you will still have enough cap space to sign Strome/ADB. They are both RFA's so Stan still is in a pretty strong position with them.
I have no idea who the 1/2 Dman and 3C will be. It will be easier to find a 3C. Top Dman are hard to find. But there are a few teams that will be up against the cap and may need to part with a DMan.
Must say, for all his foibles, Stanley did himself proud with the Strome and Cagguila trades this year.
@SBekovic
Since making his #Blackhawks debut on 11/27, Dylan Strome has more points than:
Mark Stone
Tyler Seguin
Anze Kopitar
Cam Atkinson
Vladimir Tarasenko
Evgeni Malkin
Matthew Tkachuk
Jeff Skinner
Zach Parise
Ryan Johansen
Matt Duchene
Patrice Bergeron
Mathew Barzal

Now wouldn't it be funny if Schmaltz wins the scoring title next year?
