I think Kevin is definitely worth more at 2 mil retained. We can't bury vlassic because he has an NMC.
No shot we are rolling with two goalies who dont have NHL seasons under their belt.

Most importantly: Eklund on the third line with bordy on the top line?

The Isles gave up a 3rd for Pierre Engvall who puts up similar boxcars to Labanc at a comparable cap hit to Labanc at 50% retained. However, that was the trade deadline premium price, so a 4th plus a late rounder seems fair.

Regardless, I doubt the Isles would be interested in Labanc anyway. They already have too many middle-6 guys.

Goalies are to develop them and get Celebrini/Kiviharju. Roll three lines so first 3 lines get around equal playing times

Thanks. Appreciate the confidence.

I see the vision but that dev plan doesn't bode well for the GK's specifically I think. I could see a vet/and rotate young guys in out of the line iup
