Gotta feel for Valimaki - two times he looks close to being an NHL regular, then he has an injury pop up. Great opportunity for Kylington to prove he belongs, and basically keeps Brodie on the team to start the year - but if Kylington takes his shot and runs with it, may make him moveable during the season if the right deal comes along.
Essentially the remaining roster is a pretty simple equation:
Sign Tkachuk, Mangiapane
Trade Frolik
Either that, or use some magical powers to get Tkachuk signed to a sweetheart deal.
We are now probably at the point of adding a sweetner to move Frolik - either a pick or a second tier prospect (e.g. add Gillies for a team looking for a goalie prospect)
