I'm not a huge fan of paying that much for Gallagher, but I whole-heartedly agree with your general concept of:
out: Berglund, Sobotka
in: Hoffman, top 4 LHD, top 6 center (I still think Stastny for 2 yrs would be a nice consolation prize if JT doesn't work out)
Since Bouw just had surgery, he probably won't be in playing condition during the summer buyout period and we won't have the chance to buy him out. I'm not sure what will happen with him, but maybe he'll be on LTIR or if he tries to rough it and play again, he could end up being waived. I feel for the guy, he's had a great career but after this surgery he might not be relevant anymore, considering he was already falling apart.
