Yup. Lehkonen deserves every penny

The Manson signing already confirmed Kadri wouldnt return, if they filled the last D spot with a cheap veteran then maybe Kadri could have stayed if he took a discount

Kadri was always out... who do they get to replace him up front? Stastny, another FA or newhook?

Stastny on a one year deal would make sense

Newhook is a nonstarter. He's barely a third liner at this point.

Realistic options include either of the Strome brothers or Paul Stastny. I have zero interest in Stastny, but people around here still seem to think he's good.

Newhook is allowed to grow into the position, he wasn't given the oppurtunity with kadri there and when kadri was hurt they moved mikko down.. he's not my 1st choice but in a pinch

Stastny still has hands and can get rantanen the puck if bednar keeps the big line in 2 pieces.

I feel like giving the stromes mo ey will be a mistake as they enefitted from playing with kane and panarin
