Solid team.
I'd love to see them find a lower cap hit on Wilson, and add a second tough guy. Jerabek next year is going to still be an interchangeable part with Bowey or Djoos, and beyond that he'll most likely be less good than either. Emelin, Franson, or Orpik for a year adds more toughness and clears the crease a bit. Lehtonen gives Holtby enough rest for another playoff run, and there's still no reason they can't bring up kids from Hershey and Carolina to audition. Copley might be ready. He might not. His stats last year were bad, but only in two games worth of relief work, so the team in front of him had already quit. That's not a meaningful sample. He might be great. He might not. Hiring a talented goalie at a backup salary would be a great fit, and Lehtonen has a chance to come out of it with a Cup ring and a much higher asking price.
