IMO they shouldn't be paying that much for 3RD and 4C, and they should add 1LW instead of 2LW (it probably isn't a secret what I'm implying lol)

I agree with the moves. Just not the prices on some. I feel they can go after a Rutta or Lybuishkin for around $2M. One of those two would be ideal 3rd pairing RHD. Especially Rutta. For the 4th line Center they should go about $1-2M either. There is some decent, bargain bin type players available. I agree with the Left Winger tho. Need a solid 2nd or 1st line left winger. Nichushkin would be ideal.

I understand that but TBH signing Gaudreau Long Term will probably just end up biting us we're not ready For a star We need to let our Younger players Develop First so that by the time they're good Nhl our superstar isn't well into his 30s making 10 Plus million. I think torts could still get a lot out of a team like this and we could at least make the playoffs.

Imo Overpaying For better depth is important because One we need a reliable D partner For York so his growth Isn't hindered and 2 if we can get a 4th Line Center I think that will Help Macewan Out taking a bit of pressure off him. Tampa and Colorado Have shown How important a lineup with a lot of depth is.

Little's contract is largely paid by insurance so yeah he has a cap but it's almost no real dollars, unlike JVR. I think it would cost a lot more to move JVR, it won't be anything crazy most likely a 2nd a prospect like Stralman last year.
