I think the right move is to go with this for next year (if we re-sign Moulson):
Moulson - Koivu - Nino
Cooke - Brodziak - Coyle
X - Haula - Fontaine
If Brodziak struggles again, you can let him walk and move Coyle to C:
Cooke - Coyle - X
If not, you can keep him and maintain a very solid 3rd line. Buying him out at this stage would be extremely pre-mature, given both Haula and Coyle's limited NHL careers, thus far.
