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.

should be a rule in place where when a GM signs a particular player, and that GM gets canned/moves onto a gig with another franchise, the contracts of 2 players, at the decision of his former teams new GM can be transferred to the old GM`s current team:laugh:

Not really sure what to say about this. I think the lineup you have put forth is an absolute train wreck, with all due respect.

So Zach "haven't played one professional game" Senshyn will be our #1 RW? Chelarik has 2 points in 11 games and hes our 2nd line LW? Jake Debrusk hasnt played one NHL game and hes suddenly pencilled into the top nine as well? Two rookies starting on the defense?

Lets hope they all impress enough to warrant being in the lineup, but I highly doubt your lineup is even close to realistic. Vladar is NINETEEN years old, in what world does it make sense to have him be the backup?

You're also assuming we can get rid of Beleksey/Hayes, McQuaid is gone somehow, Vatrano disappeared, Spooner is gone... I also think its interesting you left JFK out of the lineup as well.

Well I'm assuming the Bruins don't go on and win the cup I guess.Sweeney has a lot of work to do with the forwards there might be 4 or 5 I would keep that's about it,Imagne we will have more back because don't think Sweeney will be unable to unload them.

I think Pasta gets closer to 6 then 5. That's about half the cap savings right there.

Assuming JFK is given the chance to be the third line center next season, we still have to find a second line winger, a third liner winger and a couple of 4th liners with the 5 mill remaining - and that's with still having Hayes/Beleskey on the team in some sort of capacity. If we can't find takers for them, the team is going to have a roster log jam, seeing as I think DeBrusk and Cehlarik are going to be making strong pushes in camp to make the roster.
