Trade: Moen
Trade or lose to UFA: Markov, Diaz, Bouillon, Gionta, Parros
Sign D: Subban @ 7.25M, Macdonald @ 4M OR Fayne @ 3.5M, Emelin @ 3.25M
Sign: Jared Boll OR Ryan Reaves @ 1.2M, Daniel Winnik OR David Moss (2M-2.5M) for 2 years, basically until Collberg is NHL ready
So basically after all that we need a 3rd line right winger, a 4th line right winger and a top 4 D-man.
FORWARDS
Max Pacioretty / Tomas Plekanec / Danny Briere
Alex Galchenyuk / Lars Eller / Brendan Gallagher
Rene Bourque / David Desharnais / Daniel Winnik OR David Moss
Brandon Prust / Ryan White / Jared Boll OR Ryan Reaves
DEFENSEMEN
Jarred Tinordi / P.K. Subban
Alexei Emelin / Mark Fayne OR Andrew MacDonald
Josh Gorges / Nathan Beaulieu
1st PP Wave = PK + Beaulieu
2nd PP Wave = Emelin + Gorges (FML) or maybe a forward
it would be nice if we could find a way to keep diaz for our 2nd PP but that would just end up making our d-core too soft, we need to head in a different direction
and obviously we could sign much better players that would allow us to fill those needs but i wanted to keep the changes as realistic/doable as possible
