I would be surprised if this is actually the team lineup. I've talked about Mikkola replacing Scandella so you have a more cost controlled Dman, and the fact that Scandella isn't really even that good, I don't think Binnington makes that much off of this year's play I think he makes maybe around 5, but wouldn't be surprised if it's less. Barbashev is most likely being traded to let in some room for guys like Joshua, and Alexandrov to make their way into the lineup. I'm think that Thomas route is about right. I'd be surprised if we re-sign Perron for that much being he'll be 34 by the end of his contract. I'm not sure he gets that much from us, or even in the market. If Faulk doesn't make up for it this year, I think Blues would be happy to completely with paying Seattle to take someone else rather than Schwartz, it's not a bad idea in my opinion. If we could get them to take maybe a guy like Blais, or MacEachern, or Sanford even.
