Not that this would be the only issue here, but how is Kapanen getting 2 mil below Dzingel here? Not that Kap. is a near 5mil player, but that's a big gap imo.

I think the dzingle signing is an over pay but on the other hand you have to overpay anyone to come to Edmonton. You definitely will need to add a bit more to the Toronto trade probably replace safin with benson or lagesson with bear, otherwise I like it Toronto fans will whine and say its not enough but you're in the ball park. If that Ottawa trade were to happen Id make keith permanent gm immediately. You gotta use that excess cap space on a decent third line center, that is still a massive hole that needs to be filled. If Ryan strome liked it here you could bring him back on a relatively team friendly deal or someone else that is solid defensively. I'd sell petrovic for a 4th or 5th and bring up Jones or persson. imo Jones is ready to be an NHL 6/7 D and Persson is unknown as he's playing really well in Europe Id consider taking the chance on him.
