OK here is my idea now this is the roster after I move Roy and 2 1st to move up and get Galchenyuk. Also I moved Leopold and Sekera and I would take anything anyone offered.
Then I thought incredibly long (so much so my wife made fun of me) on who I wanted more: Parise or Suter. I picked Suter because the team would then have 2 D pairings that would be amazing...plus we got our offense with Galchenyuk. I got the salaries for Galchenyuk based on what Hopkins received last year as the #1 figuring we would get the 2nd or 3rd overall for the above mentioned trade of Roy and the 2 #1 picks. Clear as mudd? Good! Then I figured we would/could front load the contract of Suter much like Ehrhoff's contract for a lower cap hit. McClement (whom I have watched but have NOT watched a ton of) would IMO be a great 4th line center as well as taking the place of Goose for face-offs when we need them. Oh and Sulzer got a raise. Thoughts?
