Davidson won’t want to bring it that many free agents. Hawks can probably find a comparable goalie to Vladar in free agency if they give up on Soderblom.

First off, no to the trade, Vladar is an adequate backup not a difference maker. Comparable goalies to him are available all the time for free.

I would definitely gamble on the 8 year contract for Vlasic, it could end up being a Duncan Keith size steal three or four years down the road.

The only FA signing I have a problem with is Kulikov, there is just no need for another left shot D.

I also think the Dakota Joshua price tag is too low, I could see him getting $2.5m - 3m x 4. I like the signing though.
