I don't like the additions to the forwards. Armia and Fast are both going to be 30+ next season on a team that was killed by its age last year. And Roslovic doesn't bring a lot to the table. The scoring is decent, but he's not great defensively and the $4M cap hit isn't great for what he provides.
I think the best strat on offense is to buyout Granlund, which wouldn't actually cost all that much, try to replace him with one of Bertuzzi, Compher, or Bunting, and give our youth a look. Nylander, Poulin, Puustinen, and Hallander are all probably close to NHL level at worst.
Otherwise, I'd honestly prefer Graves over Gavrikov if we can afford him, and I will take nearly any option over Korpisalo. Korpi being good is an anomaly and I don't trust him to be that caliber of goalie again.
