I could see something like this, and I think Namestikov might actually be cheaper. The contracts are in the ball park though I could see them trying to give Graves more term. The one thing that won’t happen is Lindholm as the 7th d-man. I’d also flip what you have as the 3rd and 4th lines.

I really don't understand why GM's who needed some secondary scoring didn't take a chance on Namestnikov earlier in the season, like he's shown in the past in his Tampa days that he can play higher up in the lineup with better players and at worst he's a 3rd line player, is a UFA so if he doesn't turn out into anything more not a big deal.

Can't believe he was traded twice for a 4th round pick and Ottawa and Colorado of all teams were who picked him up, seems like a guy many teams could of used, would of been a better pickup for Buffalo then Frolik was, really think some of these GM'S are either way too risk averse or just morons.

honestly if he keeps playing like he did on mac's line then im in
