JV will not play in the top 6 over Mangiapane.

Dube doesn't play center, keep Bennett at 3C and put Gawdin at 4C

The last piece you are missing is Leivo and and the logo

You want to give us a player and two draft picks for Virtanen, you got it! Might not count on him signing for that low, though. I think Faska's deal in Dallas probably pushed this to arbitration and Jake gets 3.5.

Oh and by the way, good luck with Tanev. Even if he stays healthy enough to play 60 games, he's a turnover machine in the playoffs.

Line slotting aside (semantics), I like the idea of acquiring Virtanen. I just don't see it happening at a cost that makes any sense. Even what you are paying is WAY too much. Giving up assets to help VAN (a division rival) to solve their cap struggles for them being counterintuitive enough, doing so to acquire a player whose work ethic has been questioned often and loudly by every coach and scout going back to junior seems like a bit ridiculous. If they wouldn't have qualified him and he came as a cheap ($1 mill 1 year prove it type contract) Free Agent... great. As it stands, I'd pass.
