Arizona does not pay to take our cap dumps, Simek alone would cost a 4th just to move him, and Labanc is almost unmovable at this time after his disastrous season.
best case i would pair Balcers with Simek and deal them both to Arizona (Balcers as a sweetener for Arizona to take on Simek)
and hope Labanc can rebound next year so we can either trade him at the deadline or that he becomes valuable to us again enough to keep.
Bonino is a better/ cheaper option for 4c than Tierney.
Strome is a dangerous signing as i think he is more a product of his wings than an actually play pusher, better option would be to get a young prospect to fill the 3C like Reedy or Bordeleau, but i could be wrong here.
Marchment I like picking him up if we don't sign Dahlen. big strong wing to support our smaller forwards.
Nichushkin i would say is an either or with Marchment sign one not both.
and if this is the lineup were in risk of losing Meier as we wont have enough space next season to resign him.
We would be better offensively but maybe weaker D wise (Burns isn't the best D but he is decent in his own zone and still a top 15 point producer)
still this would probably be a playoff team but not sure we go very deep.
