Description

Would have LOVED to see Kaner back, but not at 7M+

McDavid will produce with or without Grade-A linemates, so spend the regular season trying out the two new guys to see if there's fit/chemistry.
Sprinkle in a complimentary winger to round it out.
Lines 2-4 try to work in pairs through the regular season:
Drai - Yam
Nuge - Hym
Ryan - Foeg

Playoffs though, might want to load it up when the going gets tough?
Drai-McDavid-Hyman
DeBrusk-Nuge-Brown
Holloway-McLeod-Yam
Foeg-Ryan-Des

Nurse-Ceci showed well, keep em rolling
Kulak-Bouch hopefully Kulak can do for Bouch what he did for Barrie
Keith-Broberg have Keith show Broberg the ropes, aint nothing better than having a HOFer as a mentor

Pysyk & Kooks - Depending on whether they want 11/7 or 12/6

Skinner/Holtby tandem, if shaky as a whole go to market for a playoff goalie by TDL

Let's not screw up the cap (buyouts) any more than we have to.
19M!!! in cap space the following year and only Bouch for a fat raise.

This is NOT a 'CUP CONTENDER', nor do I need/expect them to be.
Build on this year's success, bide time until Chia mistakes all gone, Go for Gold the year after and beyond.
