Hamilton for Nylander

Fox + Brodie + Jankowski for ROR + Scandella @50%

Gaudreau - Monahan - W. Nylander
Tkachuk - ROR - Ferland
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Mangiapane - Shore - Lazar
Klimchuk, Foo

-Buyout Brouwer
- As others have mentioned, having Backlund and Frolik as the 3rd line is ideal. We cannot be a contending team with them in the 2nd line. ROR behind Monahan would be absolutely insane center depth, considering ROR is the better player.

Giordano - Hamonic
Scandella - Stone
Kulak - Andersson
**UFA**

- I think we take a big hit on defense, but that's if we want a really good forward group going forward. Who knows, we might see Valimaki take a big leap to go on the third pairing, gain that chemistry with Andersson and have Kulak on the 2nd pairing. Losing Hamilton AND Brodie would hurt though. But I feel we have the defensive depth and prospects to be able to not hurt ourselves too bad. Scandella - Stone is a middle of the pack 2nd pairing in the league.

Smith
Gillies

Don't sign or trade for a backup, Treliving. I feel like we can have Gillies/Rittich/Parsons battle it out. Competition is good, and I feel that one of these three are really going to prove themselves worthy of a backup position soon. I think Parsons still has a couple more seasons in the AHL, so this position is basically competition between Gillies and Rittich.

Overall, I feel like I really bolstered the forward depth well, however, the defense is a little questionable (yet doable).
