Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - O'Reilly - XXXXX
...and never end up with Lucic.

At the time ROR was considered too expensive for what he was doing as a checking C, and they were thinking Reinhart might be a bust. I thought you could get ROR/Reinhart for Backlund/Bennett+. Backlund could have done the job was doing at 2/3 the price and Bennett/Reinhart were change of scenery candidates.
