Likely in the minority here but can we have a do-over on Backlund?

Hathaway on a two way deal would be ideal. I love his jam but I think his spot is one we can clearly upgrade.

Rittich and Gillies are both without contracts (Rittich has arb rights).

Hamilton is untouchable for me.

Not a huge fan of Versteeg and at one point do we FINALLY give young guys a chance on the bottom 6? Kinda like how every other team in the NHL is doing..

Brodie+Frolik for Top 6 forward
Bennett for 1st Round Pick

Gaudreau-Monahan-Top 6 Acquired Player
Tkachuk-Jankowski-FA Signing/Trade
Ferland-Backlund-Foo
Mangiapane/Hathaway-Shore-Lazar

--I think this would be a really good bottom 6.

Only change I would make is to make stone a trade candidate, and Bennett is likely closer to an untouchable than to a trade candidate. Same thinking on Brodie, since they both played so poorly this year I don’t think there’s an appetite to sell low on them.

Versteeg intrigues me but I would rather have foo up with the big club than versteeg if that’s what the numbers shake out to

Given the nature of Versteeg's injury and age the best he can hope for is a try-out.
