A few notable FAs that might be worth picking up over some of my lower tier starters:
Colton Sissons
Michael Ferland
Michael Del Zotto
Justin Braun
Alex Iafallo
Brendan Leipsic
Thanks!
I have way too many prospects on my roster currently and need to slim down to 22 active players and 20 minor league players by the time next season starts. Plenty of time, but I wanted to get a head start in thinking about easy cuts/players or prospects that have some value that I may be able to get something in return for.
I know it's a long list to read through so thank you in advance for the help. I think there are probably a few easy cuts from my main roster too, like Brandon Sutter, Gustav Olofsson, and Jake Dotchin come to mind. I want to trim down my prospect goalies for sure, but don't know which ones to attempt to trade and which ones probably can be dropped (maybe Gudlevskis).

Skaters:
Tyson Jost
Radek Faksa
Kevin Labanc
Brandon Sutter

What is your scoring set up? Points only or multi-cat? And do positions matter? It's hard to give advice without context on your league set up. Also - how many teams in this league?

The choices listed look good to me.
I'd also recommend against trading any first round picks for quite awhile; you'll be building for awhile.
