I’d be comfortable with signing Jeanotte on a 2-3 year deal low cap hit and deal Lomberg at the TDL. Sure, you may only get a fourth or a fifth but it’s not nothing.

The reward is not worth the logjam. All seats are taken and this team is trying to commit to making spots for youth.
Huberdeau-Kadri-Coronato
Farabee-Frost-Sharangovich
Zary-Backlund-Coleman
Lomberg-Kirkland-Pospisil
X: Klapka
Adding a UFA to the bottom half of the roster has no real benefit and all it really does is block guys already in the organization. I would rather see more of Klapka or ... ANY of our prospects over Jeannot. Stromgren, Gridin, Honzek, Suniev, Basha, Battaglia are all more interesting adds (to me) than signing Jeannot.
The only forward I would want to add is a #1C that can push Kadri to #2C.
Even on D, I would rather promote Kuznetsov, Solovyov, and Parekh than sign a UFA. It's time to see what we have been developing all of these years and see if they sink or swim. If they sink, oh well, Mckenna time.
