Don't think you can bring Simon and Sheary back for those amounts and also pay McCann 3.5mill.
McCann hasn't proven he should make more than 2-2.5 million for me. I don't hate Sheary and think he should be a bottom six player that only comes up when the injury bug hits hard... But Sully will play him above Kapanen, Rust, and Hornqvist if he is on the team.
I think Hornqvist is on the team a hundred percent. He is a big locker room guy. Think of Kunitz in 2016 and 17. We knew he lost a step but he checked and found himself in the right spot repeatedly. Hornqvist is that guy now.
I think despite what he has had, JR actually wants to move Johnson. He is talking him up to get someone to bite. Might not happen, but not impossible. Look at Gudbranson.
Overall, not a bad look for the team. I'd prefer guys that check more than Sheary, Simon, and Mccann on the bottom six.
