Basically running two legit #1 lines and then you have a very strong two way 3rd line center to anchor line 3.

Shouldn't be hard to fill in the blanks there and have an elite top 9.

Now just need to hypnotize JT and make him sign here.
Except the only way you fit Tavares financially is to trade Monahan or Backlund.

So the real question, assuming it takes something a bit more reasonable like $10 million for Tavares, is: does he provide enough of an improvement over a guy you're moving out to justify the extra cost?
