<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Break up Leddy and Boychuck. Leddy was Mr. Futility at -40. That calls for more changes than just bumping him down a line, although that's a good start.

Why is Stastny going to sign to be a 2nd line center on a team that missed the playoffs with John Tavares as its 2nd line center. These Deus Ex Machina builds seldom work out, but you've got much better odds of keeping Tavares than signing Stastny. Or, maybe, there's a chance of a swap of Carlson for Tavares, each signed for whatever the teams agree are fair eight year deals. That would make NYI's defense actually good, and make the Caps' forwards good enough beat the PIttsburgh Pengu---waht? They what? Are you serious!!!! Wow. No way.

Never mind. Have a great summer, and good luck with your rebuild!</div></div>

Thanks for the comments - unfortunately I think the NYI are stuck with Leddy and Boychuck, perhaps can go Theodore-Boychuck and Leddy-Pulock, although I really want to limit Boychuck's minutes. The key with Stastny is that it's a shorter term than tavares or Carlson would command longer term (7/8 years) and I'm not willing to do that. I don't think anyone will approach 7.5M for Stastny so I'm trying to be high bidder. It will be an interesting and pivotal offseason for sure.
