So, we lost. Plan the parade of shame.

It was a valiant effort and all that, and I'm proud of myself and my team. Say, let's take a gander at that team.

Henrik Zetterberg (7.00M, UFA) - Eric Staal (6.50M, UFA) - T.J. Oshie (4.00M, UFA)
James Neal (7.25M, UFA) - Martin Hanzal (2.50M, UFA) - Alexander Radulov (1.00M, UFA)
Milan Lucic (5.26M, exp. 2020) - Travis Zajac (4.50M, UFA) - Radim Vrbata (1.22M, UFA)
Leo Komarov (1.00M, UFA) - Matt Cullen (1.22M, exp. 2019) - Torrey Mitchell (1.30M, exp. 2019)
Phil di Giuseppe (0.75M, RFA)

Mark Giordano (9.50M, exp. 2020) - Duncan Keith (9.99M, exp. 2019)
Alex Goligoski (8.50M, exp. 2019) - Alec Martinez (4.00M, UFA)
Keith Yandle (7.00M, UFA) - Kevan Miller (2.50M, UFA)
David Schlemko (0.71M, exp. 2020)

Craig Anderson (7.50M, exp. 2019)
Alex Stalock (0.75M, exp. 2020)

Bolded are signed past this year. Out of our free agents, our priority, in descending order, is:

Staal
Radulov
Oshie
Yandle
Neal
Martinez
Zetterberg
--replaceable easily--
Zajac
Hanzal
Miller
di Giuseppe
--do not want--
Komarov
Vrbata

Our trade conditions for 2018 are as follows:

IN: Top-25 pick from Dallas; 2nd and 3rd from San Jose (fulfilled); 3rd from Dallas; Top-85 pick from Vancouver (fulfilled)

OUT: Top-28 pick to Washington; Top-40 pick to Montreal; Top-43 pick to Carolina; Top-44 pick to Minnesota; 2nd to Philadelphia (fulfilled)

Clearly, we need to do some cleaning of house to get some of these picks. Looking for a Duncan Keith trade, if at all possible.

We're pretty good at digging through the trash. We did it this past year, and we'll do it again. Hope to see you all in the finals once more next year.
