If you're going to offer Matthews money in an OS it should be for Marner, not Laine. Also, if you're bringing in someone via OS, the Gusev trade is unnecessary. I know a lot of Isles fans **** on Bailey, but he is not a 3rd line player... I mean, come on, the last 3 years he's been our 2nd or 3rd best point guy each year. A top six of Bailey-Nelson-Marner/Laine and Lee-Barzal-Eberle is just fine, with some combination of Beau, Cizikas, Ho-Sang, Martin, Clutter, Komarov, Fritz, Bellows and possibly Wahlstrom rounding out the bottom 6 is fine.
