You do realize that
two serviceable top 6 and excellent top 9 players for $7.5 million is a significant upgrade over
one top 6 player at $7 million? It's a 25 point difference in production (assuming 50 points from Grabo, 35 from Kulemin vs. 60 for Stastny). I hope you also realize that the entire premise of my suggestion is based on them taking a
discount and not being overpaid.
The fact that Grabovski is an Avs fan alone makes me want him. I'm not saying it's realistic, and I wouldn't mind Goc and Kulemin, or just Goc, but preferably we can snag that package that consists of two players who are great defensively and very good offensively. If Stastny refuses a fair contract of $6 m a year.
I agree you with that Komarov is not the answer, though.
I'd also like to add that I think Avs stand pat on D, or add only a minor (and debatable) upgrade in someone like Greene. I don't think Markov is available and if he was Avs probably won't go after him. Niskanen is too expensive. There are no other options.
