PK - Greene/Larsson, Merrill/Severson
PP - Gelinas/Larsson, Moore/Severson
Is my guess atm
A 1.6 million dollar contract is the price of a 3rd pairing D. I rather we signed Paul Martin, but whatever.
Martin signed for 4 years at almost 5 million per.....
What about Zajac?
I might go Moore Lars and Gelinas Sev's. Maybe.
I think there plenty of PP options. Greene and Merrill could certainly both play PP.
But we do look limited in terms of PK, if this is our 6.
We have cap space and needed a LH good enough to play with Larsson/Severson.
Great deal by SJS.
Bruns/Martin
Braun/Vlasic
Is a great top 6.
But Martin would totally squeeze Merrill out. Unless that's the plan, but i don't see how that is beneficial right now. Already selling low, then take away leverage.
You think Merrill drops to 3rd pairing and Moore to 2nd?

Believe that was the point. To stop being the leagues retirement home.

I like it. A lot of fossils coming of the shelves next off-season as well. The youth movement is on, now it's just a case of if they're ready.
I don't think it is too big a leap to think that the further addition of defensive talent might indicate a current player could be on the move.
If not immediately then perhaps down the line a bit when a Santini, a Jacobs, a Mozik, or Helg etc are ready to play in the league.
Edit: Especially when 4 of the 6 are lefties.
Time for someone to kick the door down. We have a lot of kids. Just a matter of finding a few who will stick.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a few new, young faces at the beginning of the season make the team out of camp. Guys like Coleman and Zacha (not much of a surprise, but still) could be primed to take a spot. Exciting stuff really, might make watching this team bearable again.
That's what makes people think Gelly is on the move - the amount of LHDs.
