I just want to see them put strong bids in for Markstrom and Hall (and sure, put your name in the hat for Pietrangelo).

See who you end up with if you do, and then shuffle the rest of the chairs/cap around accordingly.

Funny thing is I think there's a chance they could even land both. But would have to move some dollars (maybe Ryan) and see losses on the back end, which means giving shots to the youngsters to round out the bottom pairing.

Not usually a fan of all-in moves and signings and I still think you want to move Gaudreau for futures within the next year, but picking up those two would give them a legitimate chance at taking another step.

Maybe Markstrom "Kippers" them there, by bailing out some iffy defense while the kids develop into their roles, but so be it.
