So is he down on White or high on Formenton/Chlapik/Batherson?

It's a really solid and deep pool of players. If ownership changes and we can keep our top 3 players, that group could be the support group for a really good team in 2 years time especially if Brown and Tkachuk pan out.
I can't help but see some Spezza and some Getzlaf on some of those passes and goals. His technicals and understanding of the game is excellent. His reach is ridiculous.
If he learns how to use his size against NHL defenders, we very well could have a 1C.
Tkachuck-Brown is going to be an incredible line.
Batherson-Duchene-Stone
Tkachuk-Brown-White
Formenton-Pageau-Chlapik
is what I hope in 2 years, could be a really great Top-9. Just need the money

I think I'd switch forms and white, but it'd be pretty cool if they all pan out/stay
In two years, half of those guys will be on ELCs and Chlapik + White should be pretty low, too (fresh off ELC). That top 9 could cost less than 30m.
Add Nurmi on the 4th line, too.
Batherson (.9m)-Duchene (8m) -Stone (9m)
Tkachuk(.9m)-Brown (.9m)-White (3m)
Formenton (.9m) -Pageau (4m)-Chlapik (2m)
Add Ryan in there somewhere...
Chabot (5.5m) - Karlsson (12m)
Wolanin (2m) - Ceci (4.5m)
Boro (1.2m) - Jaros (1.5m)
No goalies on the books.... you could easily fill that lineup out for under 70 mil, though. These 16 players come in at 63.55m and I'd be surprised if anyone gets an extension at a higher total than what I designated here..

Tkachuk's floor is higher than Neil's ceiling, not sure what you are getting at here?Spezza - Neil was tried several times by several coaches. Never worked

That's because none of them played Neil at CenterSpezza - Neil was tried several times by several coaches. Never worked
I expect that if EK & a number of others are traded that a few of the players returning in these trades should make this team better & hopefully a couple of them will be elite players for Ottawa.
Formenton - Brown - Stone
Tkachuk - White - Batherson
Luchuk - Chlapik - Nurmi
Novak - Paul - Gagne/McCormick
Chabot - JBD
Wolanin - Ceci
Lajoie - Jaros/Englund
Gustavsson - Hogberg/Mandolese
I hope Dzingel is still on the team...Batherson-Duchene-Stone
