Gonna take a ton more than that to get Orlov, who they probably wouldn't trade anyways. RFA, solid stats, good possession numbers, etc. Not likely giving him up, never in a million years for Fasching and a 2nd.

Still don't see the point in buying out Moulson this year. Bury him in the AHL if you have to, but we have the cap space to just keep him and if we need to we can buy him out next year. That way he's only on the cap for 2 years instead of 4.

Vanek not an ideal fit either, third line winger at best these days. Still a bit too slow, need to add speed up front, especially to keep up with Jack and Sam. MAYBE he fits next to ROR and Okposo, but I still don't really care to bring him back here. Don't think he signs that low either, 48 points in 68 games and he's not taking a pay cut.

I can't get over spending nearly $3 million on Foligno to be a 4th liner. Larsson does everything Marcus does at a much smaller price tag, he just needs a full season to prove himself. Marcus had his "prove-it" contract last year unless Botterill wants to give him a second chance.
