2. The plan is to bring in OEL and then move on from Gio while hopefully recouping some futures in the process. Tkachuk gets the C.
Hall - Bennett - Lindholm
Gaudreau - Monahan - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Backlund - Dube
Lucic - Gawdin - Rieder
Hanifin - Andersson
OEL - Demelo
Valimaki - Kylington
Kuemper
Rittich
That probably doesn't work cap wise, but something along those lines with retained salary and maybe moving on from one or two of those guys if needed. Not saying that's what I want to see, but I could see Treliving thinking that way given his past experience with OEL.

Yeesh, really putting a lot of eggs in that Bennett basket as well. Lot of finger crossing and blind optimism involved in some of these line ups.
