You're basically hamstrung playing the Coyotes during the first season, largely because FHM4 doesn't have the capability to factor the cap hit from buying out Mike Ribeiro and Antoine Vermette into your overall budget. All you have is Dave Bolland's cap hit working for you, and he generally retires after the first season.

Moving Bolland to LTIR opens up a roster spot and you have three contract spots open. Best thing to do early is to watch the waiver wire and pick up salary if you can find it. But you won't have much leeway that first year other than to try and pick up someone else's bad contract via trade.

If you do end up signing some short term terrible contracts, be warned that you'll have Domi to resign (and he won't come cheap in the FHM version of him) for next season, and then OEL and half your roster will be due BIG paychecks the season after that. So don't cripple yourself in the short term.
