Should sign at least someone with that 8M. That third lne is risky (playing two new NHLers on one line) and I'm on the fence to if this is even a playoff team.

Not really a fit for Eller on the Isles unless Brassard doesn’t work out well.

leason would be 21 and McMichael has shown flashes in the preseason that he can be elite....yeah its preseason...if you feel more comfortable keep eller for another year

Brassard signed a 1 year deal and trotz loves eller

The plan is for Brassard to play this year and Koivula to come in next year.

fair enough....assuming brassard doesnt pan out bc hes had a rough 2 years eller would still be able to be utilized by the nyi esp for a low cap hit

Selling Lars way too low. He could garner two seconds or a low first. 1) He is a proven playoff performer 2) Good contract 3)Good team player 4) Great 3rd line center, Good D, some O. I wouldn't move him for it least a year, season McMicheal, Protas and Leason another year. I would be inclined to hold on to Djoos this year unless 1) The youngsters knock it out of the park and 2) are going to play regularly. Get Alexeyev and Fehervary top pair minutes in Hershey. Bring them up next year and trade Orlov for real assets this summer. The rest of the trades are fine.
