That Krecji contract looks as bad as Dustin Brown's, Belesky's or Gaborik's, no way they can unload that without getting little to no return. Thanks Chiarelli, you should be forced to take another one of your favorites for some 1st round picks.
Figure Pastrnak for 5. Take Jimmy Hayes to Roswell New Mexico and hope aliens abduct him and you have some cap space to work with for a top 6 wing through trade or free agency. Add some size, speed, grit and toughness to the bottom six and they are in pretty good shape with Senyshyn, JFK, Gabrielle, Fitzgerald, DeBrusk and Chelarik ready to push for spots over the next couple years (Bjork will be a Ranger) and a D that already is getting it's young core in place with Carlo and McAvoy.
