Nice work. Won't agree with all, but I would probably buyout Daley, try to sign some UFA (Karlsson or Gardiner), and if no one comes, then extend Kronner. Better have Kronner than Daley mentoring kids, imo.
DeKeyser - UFA(Karlsson/Gardiner) <----Kronwall if no one comes from outside
Ericsson - Green
Cholowski/Hronek/Bowey
No room for Daley.
If nothing happens with 2019 UFA class, then 2020 is another scenario.
2020 summer would look so different, when Ericsson, Green, Daley, Kronwall are all gone nonetheless.
McIsaac pushing in, Lindström joining.
Even without UFAs, it could be:
DeKeyser - Hronek
Cholowski - Lindström
McIsaac - Bowey
Suddenly it's a kid defence, or we could go to Trouba hunt.
