Give me a retained Laine on a 'prove it' contract and completed rehab. I'd do 7x7 on Lindholm because of how he played in the playoffs for Vancouver and the rising salary cap.
Can you sign a Patrick Kane for cheap?
OR
You hold off on everything and see what is going on with Draisaitl. Something is up there and the guys above (minus Lindholm) can still be added without filling the cap up and losing assets.
In fact, I'd be curious to see what a Laine (getting DeBrusk money) and Kane (getting Shattenkirk & JVR & Forbert's money) would bring to the table before even signing Lindholm to wait and see what Edmonton does with Draisaitl.
If he tells them, 'I'm not resigning here' then you have the biggest name in the market available at the C position since Joe Thornton. Karma.
