Trade value wise this is fairly close, I think mango and Kappy get a bit more (~3-4@2.75 and 2-3@2.75 respectively) and I'd rather not sign either of those dmen. Rosen looks promising and seeing as he'd be a 3rd pair guy all he needs to be is replacement level.

I think you are showing the problem with moving z in terms of the hole it creates in the 2rd spot, Jensen would have been the perfect fit but the caps got him. Need to watch fa or see if doobie can fleece a team.

I think at this point I would rather have Rosen play than Hainsey. Hainsey was great for what he was but he's lost a step and I'd rather see what Rosen can do on the 3rd pairing ans spend that $1.5 mil elsewhere. If Girardi would come here for $1.5 I would love to have him on the 3rd pair too but that 2nd D-line needs some work. Marner might get that cap hit over 5 years, and I feel that Johnsson and Kapenen are a little on the low end unless it's on a 1 year deal. They just have to get over this hump and then they are in a better cap position next year.
