Description
Here are the priorities:

1. We need cap marging, so we need to get rid of bad contracts;
2. We need a top pair LHDefenseman;
3. We need 2 top 6 Centers;
4. We need a top 6 RW;
5. We need the #2 Goalie (Lindgren) to refocus and become the guy he was last year.

For those who think Carey Price needs also to refocus, don't worry, he OK. He maneged to get rid of coach Therrien last year. He tried to get rid of GM Bergevin this year but, the owner clearly said he had total trust in his GM Marc Bergevin. So Carey Price will be back in Oct and he is going to be the #1 goalie in the world again.

    Why do you persist in embarrassing the rest of us?

    We need cap marging and you're getting a 7,5 millions 2C, a 5 millions Eriksson, a 7 millions Kovalchuk and a 5 millions Perron? Oh god, hope you're not the next gm...

    WOW, I don't understand why you're trowing this comment. There's definatly something you mist or didn't catch / interpret.
    Here a better explanation:
    Margin = to get better players, you need to shed contracts of player you don't need anymore and use the new margin to hire new contracts and in this case, many expensive contracts. Hope this clarifies the margin misunderstanding.
    If you did not see the move for Eriksson, I don't know if you were old enough to have seen him play in Dallas and in Boston with Claude Julien as a coach where he had a good season and earned his large contract he is on presently. The idea here is Alzner is not as fast and reliable Mtl was expecting of him and Eriksson is not the goal scoring winger Van was hoping for. On my lineup Alzner would be the 8th Def (sitting in the bleachers) but he would be in the lineup if Juoleivi plays in AHL this year or not. Alzner is from BC and would probably waive his non trade agreement or have Van in his list of team he could be traded to. In return they (Van) get rid of his (Eriksson) contract and Mtl gets a winger with potential who would probably be happy to waive his waiver and leave a team who did not appreciate him and come to Mtl with a coach he had success with.

    Hope you have a better understanding now.
