Crazy enough, if we did that we could properly address and pay for two centers of quality and sign all our young guys. Would leave the wings as Kreider, Laf, Kakko and Kravtsov, so we’d need some serious progress and development in order to even do this. But if we ended up keeping Mika and signing a guy like Hertl or Trochek, we could solidify down the middle with Chytil and Goodrow down the middle as well. Opens up the right side for Gauthier on the third line and maybe Barron or Othmann. Fourth line of Blais, Rooney and Reaves. Could be a decent lineup. All comes down to how our young guys progress. If they bust we’re literally screwed, if not we could be in good shape moving forward. However, I do love the Breadman and would be hard pressed to move our best player.
