Gotta be a better deal out there for Names...if that’s all the market will bear- I’d rather waive him and let someone grab him for the entire salary...otherwise- if not picked up— maybe he can generate value in Hartford

A few things
1) Hopefully we can get a better pick for Vladdy with us retaining salary
2) I doubt we see a kid line as the 3rd line, swap Kakko and Buch, Chytil as 2nd line center and Strome as LW on 3rd line
3) Lemieux, be it 125,000, is a bit overpaid. I'd be shocked if he got anything more than a million. DeAngelo is going to need Pionk money if he is going over 2 years, I see him taking 2 for 2.5 a season, but for 3 years he'd be giving up a year of UFA for 250,000 for 3 seasons... seems unlikely.
4) I like Rykov as the 7th d-man, but I think he starts in Hartford if he doesn't make the team to get minutes since his KHL clause isn't until the 2020-21 season. Lindgren or even Raddysh are my picks as 7th d-man unless we sign someone.
