I think this is a very realistic roster - though I'd replace tolvanen with grimaldi, as I don't think he's ready yet. And I think they keep Hamhuis. Maybe cut ties with Watson instead.

This is a realistic first domino to fall in my opinion. Clear some space with Bonino to sign Duchene and go from there. Could end up shedding some further cap room with a trade of one of the defensemen or Turris depending on what Josi negotiations begin to look like.

Reasonable. I don't like having Smith on the 2nd line just b/c of how inconsistent he is and it puts Granlund to his offwing. Would rather try Jarnkrok or Tolvanen in that role. Then have Jarnkrok/Tolvanen turris Smith as the third line and Watson/Salomaki Sissons Grimaldi as the 4th. But that just boils down to personal preference. Edmonton doesn' thave the cap for Bonino but he's a center they could really use for the bottom 6.
