I'm feelin' the Pittsburgh third going back to you.

I really dislike the Kampf/RyJo swap. You basically replace problem with a longer one. Kampf may be better suited for his role, but $2.4M is too much to pay for a 4C.

One of the perks of the RyJo gamble was that he only had one extra year of term. After next season, you need cap space for Rantanen’s mega-extension and whatever happens with Byram. You can get a 4C for $1-1.5M cheaper, which gives you more breathing room to keep your core under contract.

I actually have him moving to 3C next season and colton moving to 2LW. I think between woody and oconnor, kampf would be more than capable to provide us a competent 3C role.

Kampf has never been more than a 4C. You need to 3C to give you 35ish pts and he caps out in the high 20's. I'd avoid his contract personally. He's the type of player you replace pretty easily and cheaply when its time for them to hit the market.

Btw, if Colton is jumping up into the top 6, who is dropping out?

I imagine the assumption is that Landy doesn't return.
