We have developed two first line stars that need signing in this same off season and have a number of contracts coming off the books at the end of next season.
How is that hard for you to believe?

Was this from the press conference earlier today?

This is most realistic to me. I'm pretty sure Gulutzan is on record wanting a vet to play with Bennett. Also believe Stajan to the wing is going to happen. And Bouma played center all junior. And Shinkaruk & Tkachuk will be given all opportunities to succeed. Nice call!!

Chaisson will at least be tried on the 1st line. I predict he starts the season there actually.

I think we will see Wideman traded before the season starts. Based on what Treliving said, I expect we will see Brouwer and Bennett on the same line. It sounds like Brouwer is going to mentor and help develop Bennett. If would make sense if Tkachuk is apart of that line. Bouma is supposedly on the trade market. I have a feeling we will see Jankowski and Shinkaruk make the team.

That sounds a little snarky. We have no goalies signed after this year. So yeah after more bad contracts come off the books, there will be goalies and Bennett needing to be signed. We had Hiller, Ramo, Hudler and Jones come off this year and that cap space got used up quickly.
Cap space is an asset too. Just making the observation that this team doesn't seem to have much of it. Hopefully we are close to contending.

It just seemed like an odd observation with all the well known circumstances.
There's significant cap coming off the books after next season, as well as the season after with Stajan / Bouma (clearing 5 Million).
We are in a position where we need to improve with each year, and today helped that process along, just like last year did shoring up the defense adding a big ticket in Hamilton.
If Bennett gets paid, it's because he's broken out in a big way, much like Monahan and Gaudreau have. While that might sound like a negative from a cap perspective, it isn't as far as the team's overall development goes.

So first off I think this is a bad idea, but in a win now mode this could work.
Gaudreau - Monahan - tkachuk
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Shinkaruk - Grant - Brouwer
Bouma - stajan- Ferland
Brodie - Gio
Hamilton - Jokipakka
England - Nakladal
Elliott
Johnson
Yup....

Agreed with Calgaryfan1988...but, there is NO way Stajan is on the 2nd line

That's just for matchups, so Bennett and Shinkaruk tear is up. 
Haha, I thought Stajan looked pretty good on the left side near the end of last season.

I think Stajan is a solid enough back up plan to play on the left of bennett if hunter isn't panning out. Maybe we get a look at Jankowski on Bennett's wing?

With Chaisson's history in Dallas playing with Benn, I think he gets a shot to regain his form on our #1 line.
