I get this is unrealistic, but I still have some critiques.
1. Overpay for Toews. I doubt he gets anything above a 1st, he is due for a slight rebound, and his defensive game is still good, but his cap hit is hard for Colorado to deal with and Newhook *could* be the 2C solution. Also, Condor doesn't waive to go to Chicago.
2. Really bad idea having MacDermid in the full-time lineup. He's a 7th D/ 13th F. Girard can stay around for another year at least, and even then, Toews would probably be the smarter move since he would guarantee us a huge return (defensive defensemen who get Norris votes don't come cheap).
3. Assuming Pavelski continues to play at an elite level, the Stars probably decline. They're probably going to be asking for something like Olausson + 1st for Pavelski at 50% (assuming they're sellers at TDL, they may try to make a push for a Wildcard spot).
