I love him...he is my favorite player, but... I think it is time to move David Krejci.
This solves all our cap woes and some other problems.
1) Spooner becomes one of our top 3 centres. Let the Spooner era begin.
2) This move along with somehow clearing Kelly's contract, gives the Bs $6M to use at the trading deadline for any needs (in case Spooner doesn't work out, or to get a winger, etc...).
3) It allows us to keep our D together. We won't have to move anyone here.
4) It will likely get back a great pick or prospects or a great cheap young winger.
5) It frees up cap space next year.
6) It allows Krug and Smith to get paid.
Marchand - Bergeron - Smith
Lucic - Soderberg - Eriksson
X - Spooner - X
Paille - Campbell - X
Defence is status quo as is goaltending.
Xs could be filled in by guys like Fraser, Florek, Ferlin, Khoko, Lindblad, and maybe Caron.
Thoughts?
