Description

I'll plan on only a 1 mil increase in cap to be conservative. I won't go through any selling motions, and instead focus on a scenario where the team gets healthy and is able to play at the level we expect.

This scenario sees Backstrom go the way of Jovanovski, where he returns at the end of the year and plays through, then LTIRetires (or flat out retires, either way)

I'd give Miroshnichenko his 9 games on a line with Ovi, then send him down and have him develop in Hershey. Protas will slot into the lineup after Miro is sent down, and shift everyone on the right up one line.
