Apparently Laine's a healthy scratch today.

Lindholm + Hanifin for Laine + Johnston + Boqvist?

I believe this washes cap out reasonably well. Obviously lots of risk for them if the two going don't/aren't signed, but realistically, none of their outgoing players have been impactful for them, whereas Lindholm/Hanifin stabilizes and could potentially make them competitive (I assume that's what they're going for given the last couple of years though they still stink)

Zary + Kadri + Pospisil
Huberdeau + Johnston + Laine (bit of a potential nightmare this one)
Mangiapane + Backlund + Coleman
Greer + Dube + Duehr
Ruzicka (just can't seem to put it together consistently)

Weegar + Andersson
Zadorov + Tanev
Boqvist + DeSimone

It's a bit of a middling/inbetween move for us I feel. Laine could stink but would then only have a couple of years left but maybe able to spark Huberdeau. Otherwise, the other two are young and have potential to fill that rebuild mold I feel?
