What about Andrew Shaw for the top line RW? He has shown he can keep up with top players (played with Kane and Toews at times this year). Probably maxes out as a 20G-20A player, but tough as nails, great in the corners and will create space for Johnny. He is undersized, but a pest and plays like he is 6'3/215.

He will likely command $3-3.5M as an RFA. He is 23 (perfect age for our team), has proven to be a champion playoff performer. No idea what it would take to get him...probably a 2nd and Wotherspoon/Kulak. Maybe include Bouma somehow?

In my opinion, it is better for us to chase someone like him rather than one of the big fish which will cost an arm and a leg (Lucic, Okposo, Eriksson).

Johnny - Monahan - Shaw
Shinkaruk - Bennett - Tkachuk
Colborne - Backlund - Frolik
Ferland - Stajan - Hathaway
Bollig - Grant
