Well, didn't St James write they hoped to sign the three for $6M. OP is $7M. I say it lands in between. 1.2, 2.2 and 3 perhaps.

Wait, why are we penciling in Alfie before we find out for sure what is happening to our defense? Holland should be taken out back in shot if he signs Alfie to a $3M base before we officially lose out on Boyle, Ehrhoff, Nisky, and Stralman.
Alfie should sit quietly until it's all said and done. It's in his best interest to do so if he ever wants a Cup.

Because that's what happened last year. We haven't really addressed our defense at all. In fact, for the past few years it's been guys like Colaiacavo, Commodore, Huskins, Quincey, Salei. Serviceable stop-gap measures at best for the most part. Other than DD, no real decent moves on the back end.
I don't know if that'll change this year, I hope it does. But we've been saying it has to be "this year" for 2-3 years now, when Rafalski and Stuart were leaving and Lidstrom was about to leave.
Babcock didn't sound like he was too keen on Alfie at the draft. Said he has to be healthy and if he can't practice with the team and misses a ton of games he is just blocking a spot for a kid. Sounds like he'd prefer Jurco up. I really hope we see Jurco up with Dats and Z instead of Abby. He can do the hard work Abby does but has way more skill. One of Abby, Miller, Glendending will have to sit if Helm is our 4C.
Z, Dats, Jurco
Franzen, Weiss, Nyquist
Tatar, Sheahan, Alfie/Mantha(play this line like a 2B for Mantha to get time or he's better off in AHL)
Abby,Helm, Glendening
Miller
Z, Dats, Jurco

True I was just thinking that I would rather have Marchenko and Ouellet up then both Kindl and Lashoff.

Gotta move Kindl somewhere, somehow. There is no reason to keep him around when both Ouellet and Marchenko, and probably Backman, could be as good or better at a much cheaper pricetag.
I also think we will be able to sign at least 1 or 2 of Dekeyser, Sheahan and Tatar at cheaper than that. Danny I could see coming in somewhere around 2.750, Sheahan closer to 1.000-1.250. Tatar might be pushing hard for getting the most he can, but I really hope Holland doesn't do something stupid just because of that. Sign the guy to a 3 million average if you have to, either he'll play well enough to earn that money or he'll still be very trade-able if we want to make a move at the deadline or next summer.

Yeah Jurco should be up but we know he is going to get buried. Only chance he has is if we sign Alfie. Once Alfie is toast about a month into the season Jurco will take his spot.
My main complaint will be if Jurco is in the AHL, Alfie or FA is on 3rd line with Tatar and Sheahan and Abby is on top line with Z and Dats. Abby is a 4th liner and should not be with Dats and Z if we have Jurco.

Petri Kontiola wants to leave Traktor now. His goal is NHL.

Thoughts? Could get a number 2 center for pretty cheap

Poor man's right-handed Filppula.
Natural playmaking center, but weaker and not so fast on skates as Valtteri was.
I can't believe any playoff-level team would benefit getting him.

smart, good hands, good vision. can pass well and play defense.
skating isn't the best, lacks ideal size/strength. won't shoot though his shot isn't bad.
edit. as henkka said, poor man's filppula is good comparison.

But why Drew Miller? We have guys like Abby, Helm, Glendening, Callahan, Ferraro. There is no need for him.

He's going to mentor our PK kids. Miller is still THE ultimate best PKr in our team.

Drew Miller is better than 3 of those players. And a better PK'er than all of them except Helm.

What have Callahan, Ferraro or Glendening proven they're better at than Miller, except being younger?
I think Glendening has proven he can frustrate opponents into punching his face more than Miller can, but that isn't exactly something to get rid of Miller over.
If anything its just a good reason to have both on the 4th line.

Miller is underrated to me. He's not going to put up points, but he's a damn reliable guy who PKs well. He played a big role in how well the Wings did on the PK this year.
