That would be a stout group. I would even consider breaking them up a bit to roll three lines. We saw in playoffs what happens when we play teams that play matchups to our top two lines.

Palat - Hughes - Mercer
Meier - Haula - Marner
Crouse - Hischier - Holtz

…or something like that

You're really getting in potential cap problems. Even bonuses have to be paid it reduces the cap for next season, and Dawson and maybe Schmidt could be in line for big raises
I really don't think two years of Marner is worth seven years of Bratt and more.
