James Neal and JVR are going to cost 6.5/7 million a year. And adding them leaves us with the same problem we had last year: too many left wingers (Johnny, Tkachuk, Bennett) who need ice time. No one's taking Johnny's minutes away but I think we want to find ways to get Tkachuk used more for sure, and I also think this is the year to see if Bennett has another gear given more opportunities. Looks like those opportunities may be there if someone can swap to the other wing.
