This is pretty good, chitownfan, however I would still change a few things. Or at least attempt to...

I think even if Vesey signs, you still throw an offer to Jiri Hudler. He may have made 4 last year, but he may be willing to entertain a smaller figure, say 1.75 for 1 year, with the Hawks to have a good run and then sign his final contract for a few more years at a little more money elsewhere. He'd probably take it, considering he is currently waiting for the Hawks before he makes his move.

If Hudler bites, you put him on the third line with Schmaltz (who projects much closer to being TT's successor than anyone else) and Panik, and if Vesey has some growing pains or doesn't quote work out with Toews and Hossa, you can swap them out and still have a quality linemate for 19&81. I would also move Krugs down to his 4th line duties with Desi and Tootoo, **** can Mash, and keep Moose up as the 13th warrior.
