Better options at LHD we can afford! Koekkoek, Kulikov, Hutton, Mueller.

Yea, I'd take 3 of the 4 over Alzner as Mueller wasn't very good last year. Hutton's numbers look fantastic in a slightly reduced role from what he had in VAN. Not sure Holland can pull the trigger as I feel like he is being very handcuffed by the Klefbom situation he is basically working with a 77M cap because of it.

I can see Chiasson being moved to be well under the cap when season starts before placing klef on ltir then sign bear extension. Maximize the cap relief from ltir this way and if klef magically does attempt a come back Russell won’t have anything really left owing on his contract and other teams will likely be dealing with injuries he will be easy to move to open room for klef if needed.

Alzner can be buried once Klefbom comes back

I think he can wait and invite someone decent on a PTO. Or Chiasson will be moved at some point and he can sign the guy he likes most. No rush.

Id do Chiasson for Hutton and a 5th, we dont have cap space to not send salary back. You could have Eakin instead
