Gives the Flames two top tier scoring and a real solid third line as well. Ideally you would want a better d-man to pair with Valimaki- maybe there is somebody better out there you can find for cheap. To me Demelo is kind of like a Brodie lite. Bennett and Backlund can be swapped depending on who is going.
80.9 cap hit including buy outs.

Love those forward lines. Adding Hall would really changes the dynamic of our team. After a few days to let the dust settle, I'm thinking we give this group another go if we can add that superstar forward to take the pressure off Gaudreau and Monahan. Putting Backlund with Mangi and Dube is a great idea.
Defense maybe looks a bit weak, and I'd really like to see Gustaffson back, he made a huge impact on the PP. Question will really be seeing where Valimaki is at, he is the one guy that could either make that a solid defence or alternatively lacking some top end talent.
