One of these three RD for an equal LD. Likely need an upgrade for Drysdale.

RD Aaron Ekblad TWD 86 (30) 8.5M UFA 2027 (HAL retains 1.5M in 2027) - 7M cap hit
RD Erik Cernak DFD 85 (29) 6.0M UFA 2028
RD Jamie Drysdale OFD 84 (24) 5M UFA 2029

RW/LW Anthony Mantha PWF 85 (31) 7.5M UFA 2029 [KEL retains 2M for '27, NIA retains 1.5M for '28 and '29] - 5.5M cap hit
- Don't really want to trade Mantha until I can see what he can do for me, but his cap suggests I should at least entertain offers

G Sebastian Cossa HYB 80 (23) 1.25M RFA 2028 - Dialed In
- he's got a trait, future 1st would do it.

These guys still eligible for World Juniors, could swap for younger, lower overalls:
LD Brian Zanetti TWD 77 (23) 1M RFA 2029 (SUI)
RW Connor Kurth PLY 77 (23) 0.900M RFA 2027 (USA)
RW Gavin Brindley SNP 76 (21) 0.850M RFA 2028 (USA)
G Lukas Swedin HYB 74 (23) .900M RFA 2028 (SWE)
C Connor Levis PLY 73 (21) 0.950M RFA 2026 (CAN)
LW Kalle Juvonen PLY 72 (21) 0.900M RFA 2028 (FIN)
