Thanks for the welcome.....not sure I agree with your Andersen is better than Gibson....Gibson is younger and signed long term and I think is as good if not better than Freddy....what will Freddy want on next deal? I think it will be more than what Gibson is getting....if we can improve the D with Manson then that might make the D a little better....although I think their issue is the overall play of all players not defending and not just the D men.....I do agree that Marner is probly more talented than Heinen and Manson....but the point I am trying to make with that one is that it gets rid of that 11 million albatross of a deal for a winger in Marner that we could replace with guys like I mentioned in Detroit that would be at a better cap hit....maybe the 1st pick to Ducks can be added to Detroit deal along with Liljegren or something....I dont mind Mathews at 11 mil....he's starting to play more of a 2 way game...and unfortunately we are stuck with Tavares....he should have never been signed once we drafted Mathews....my cap hit for the Detroit guys work out like this....based what Bertuzzi might want compared to what Kapanen/Kerfoot are getting as far as goal production....leaving Mantha as the wild card....I think I am fairly close...maybe a million or so off...don't forget he was hurt a lot this year....might affect what he gets in next deal.....
