My UFA and Other Top 10 Option Curious to see the Comment son this one

Team: 2022-23 Ottawa Senators

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 29, 2021

Published: Dec. 29, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

As my last post with the Sens top 10 pick, I would go with a little more size and Physicality than a Lambert or a Kimbell, I think this team will get some of that coming with Grieg and Boucher but can never hurt.

Signing Burakosky does bring back memories of Dadanov, however. With this cap hit and the term he shouldn't be too hard to move if needed, he can slide down the lineup as prospects or Formenton grow ahead of him in the line up, and he can play both sides giving some flexibility. this also leaves the Sens with a TON of cap space to work with and they do not have to give up on any current prospects like they would with Boser of a Fiala.
If you really don't like the idea then just put Giroux in that spot and make it a 7 or 8 AAV.

This lineup also leaves room for flexibility in the means that Formenton, Sokolov, Brown, Paul, Pinto can all move up and down the lineup as needed.
Get the young guys in on D as much as possible but keep holden and Mete around to slide in, or replace mete with another DECENT vet D, or keep Zaitsev.
