I would take Alzner over Kulikov. I would fill that bottom pairing with guys in the system or cheap UFAs, such as M. Stone or Engelland on a home-town discount.
But after carrying Smid, Engelland, Jokipakka/Nakladal for 6-7 million on the bottom pairing, I don't think the Flames have the appetit to do it again.
Giordano - Hamilton
Alzner - Brodie
Kylington - Andersson
Engelland
