With the free agents, I'd say Stastny at 3 years or less because the others are improbable (Tavares), not good enough (Vanek and Bozak) and likely to be too expensive (JVR, Neal (SCF), Perron (SCF)).

With the trades, it really depends on who we're trading. In my opinion, the order of the value of our assets in order including Hamilton > Giordano > Brodie + forward (ex: Bennett) > Brodie > defensive prospect + forward (ex: Bennett). Note: I wouldn't trade Brodie plus a defensive prospect because that would be too detrimental to the defense.

I think they'll trade Brodie for Hoffman and ask Hoffman to play his offside.

This will give us:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Hoffman
Tkachuk - Stastny - Ferland
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Jankowski - Shore - RW

Also, I didn't include Stone in the assets for trade because I don't think he's good enough, even if packaged with a forward (ex: Bennett), to get us a top 6 winger. However, I think he'll be traded for a 2018 2nd rounder or a 2018 3rd rounder plus a mid-level prospect.
