As a DAL fan I like the NYI trade.
Some things I'd change though...
- Wouldn't sign Dickinson, Spezza or Janmark to that big contracts. Spezza is worth $1,5M for 1 year, I think there's been a report that he just want to play in DAL for a year or two before quitting, money doesn't really matter, and Janmark hasn't been any good and he's around the same value. At the maximum I'd do a qualifying offer for him $2,3M. I'd just trade him rather than sign him at this point.
I'd also sign Dickinson to a 2 or 3 year contract, cap hit around $2,5M. He hasn't showed yet that he's worth a $3M+ contract, although he's been good in these playoffs.
- Johns is LTIR bound. No one knows whether he's ever able to play hockey again. 0 games this year.
- I'd adjust the lines. I'd also put Gurianov in the lineup.
