I'd rather involve Wideman in a trade for Hamonic himself, instead of Halak. I don't think a team can have too many top-4 D, particularly guys who are young and on great deals like Hamonic. We've got Andersson in the system, and Nakladal who's an RHD too, but having a right-side of our defense be Brodie-Hamilton-Hamonic for the next 4 years with Nakladal as an injury call-up and then Andersson developing in the AHL all for the low, low price of 14 million would go a long way to getting this team deep into the playoffs.

Giordano-Brodie
Jokipakka-Hamilton
Wotherspoon-Hamonic

Scratches/first call-ups next year:
Smid-Engelland

And then developing/minors
Kylington - Nakladal
Hickey - Andersson

Edit: Aww crap, I completely forgot about protecting players in the expansion draft. That's gonna suck because I think Kylington might be exposed. I'd hate to lose him to Las Vegas.
