I'm not a fan.
Beleksey at 3,8 is better than 5, but he is still a 3rd liner we hope could turn into something more playing more minutes (more difficult minutes). If it stands he is a 3rd line player, it's Kelly all over again with a higher salary and longer term.
Hayes as a big advantage over Smith in size. Smith is probably better at everything else.
Overall we are a little bit bigger, not faster, a little bit more grinder, less talented.
Would have prefer status quo or to give a 1 year deal 4M to Semin and put him on Krejci's wing, watch them put 70pts and keep the season to decide if I trust him enough to give him more on his next contract or not.
We're now rumors to Franson, but I would choose Eheroff 10 time out of 10 before him.
