I don't think Toffoli is the smartest of ideas. Next summer we have Valimaki, Dube and Bennett up for new contracts, with any luck 2 of the 3 will be in line for pretty good raises and the only UFAs coming off the books are Ryan and Rittich. I think it would be more prudent to sign someone to a low risk-high reward, 1 year deal to hopefully play in our top 9. Kovalchuk, Galchenyuk, Haula, Brassard, Leivo and Grabner come to mind. Maybe even Vesey.
For the 4th line and extra forward slot (should we trade Ryan), I would look at Brad Richardson, Lukas Wallmark, Brian Boyle, Matt Martin.
For the extra D spot, I am good with Prout, Stone, Rutta, Engelland, Weber... and I'm a sure a few others
