I think Bergevin makes a move for Sharp at the deadline and re-signs him in the summer.
Then Emelin gets taken in expansion draft and Plekanec is traded over the summer. I would see a replacement for Pleky, a big guy who can play 2nd or 3rd line C, solid defensively and can chip in some points for about 3 or 4 M. We will have more than enough room to add a solid player IF Emelin and Pleky are gone. A trade for Duchene would be pretty nice.
Radulov gets 3 years, $6.75M
Galchenyuk gets 6 years, $6.75M
Flynn gets 1 year, $900k
Markov gets 2 years, $4.0M
Beaulieu gets 1 year, $2.0M
Sharp gets 2 years, $3.0M
Hudon gets 1 year, 0.6M

::: AHL :::
Carr - Audette - Terry
Matteau - UFA - Scherbak
Farnham - De La Rose - Friberg
Eisenschmid - Gregoire - Addison
*Bradley
Hanley - Redmond
Johnston - Juulsen
Parisi - Lernout
*Bourque
Lindgren - McNiven - Fucale
For the AHL squad, I see a couple of Francophone players getting signed to play in Laval. Also, I think Lindgren could be promoted with a good training camp and Montoya waived/traded/loaned. I would like to see Fucale and McNiven getting a lot of ice time in AHL.
