Sign me up for a 5x5 or 6mx4 for Toffoli as well as that Labanc deal (basically anything under 3.8m for 3yrs is a win if DW can do it).
If the Sharks don't get out of a large contract (i.e. Jones, Burns, or Vlasic), I really think DW will be "forced" to have faith in Jones and gamble on a backup at a cap hit of 1.5m maximum. He needs to spend that 3+m instead on guys like Fast, Leivo, Rutta, Demelo, Braun if he signs Toffoli to that deal. Although I do think that Blichfeld has a good chance to shock the team next year.
Basically, IMO sub in True for Gregor, DeMelo for Talbot (sign Forsberg/Hutch or even bring up Melnichuk), and sub Marleau for Reider and it's a very good offseason for me if I'm DW.
