Description

This lineup would be devastating. And sustainable. Need $3.25 mill to cover Hall and Laine ($9 mill each) get Staal to take a haircut to $1.5 next year. Or let him walk. Move Cozens up and slot Ruotsalainen in at 3C. In net Hutton is off the books next year and replaced by UPL...savings of almost $2 mill. Montour walks. Joker jumps to $3 mill. Find an entry level replacement and we are saving about $1 mill there. McCabe is gone. Replace with Bryson or Pilut. Savings of a couple mill. Pay Dahlin $5.5 on a bridge and we’re good to go.
