Sounds like a plan except it won't happen. Would be fun to see something like this though:
Veteran FA signing for 1 year-Hertl-Labanc/Barabanov, Meier-Couture-Eklund, Gregor-Bordeleau-Balcers, Reedy-Bonino-Chmelevski with a blueline of Ferraro-Karlsson, Knyzhov-veteran D signing, Vlasic-Merkley and Kahkonen-Hill in net. In this scenario, they're moving Labanc/Barabanov (ie not re-signing), Burns, and Simek. I don't think they'll send Bordeleau to the minors, but if they do, sign some random 3C to a 1-year deal. That oughta do it, no?
