Trade Kindl call up marchenko, we have an extra 1.61 I believe. 8.71M cap space.
And get rid of Andersson and Lashoff as well.

I bet Kenny will shave some hundred thousands off those RFA deals, no arbitrations to worry about. Especially Sheahan I don't see why he would get more than Nyquist got last summer. And as Alfie will likely be an August signing, they can sign a defenseman first and worry about Alfie later(could take a lower base, more bonus).

That would be the best-case-scenario.
Wait, why are we penciling in Alfie before we find out for sure what is happening to our defense? Holland should be taken out back in shot if he signs Alfie to a $3M base before we officially lose out on Boyle, Ehrhoff, Nisky, and Stralman.
Alfie should sit quietly until it's all said and done. It's in his best interest to do so if he ever wants a Cup.

That doesn't help the cap.
Babcock didn't sound like he was too keen on Alfie at the draft. Said he has to be healthy and if he can't practice with the team and misses a ton of games he is just blocking a spot for a kid. Sounds like he'd prefer Jurco up. I really hope we see Jurco up with Dats and Z instead of Abby. He can do the hard work Abby does but has way more skill. One of Abby, Miller, Glendending will have to sit if Helm is our 4C.
Z, Dats, Jurco
Franzen, Weiss, Nyquist
Tatar, Sheahan, Alfie/Mantha(play this line like a 2B for Mantha to get time or he's better off in AHL)
Abby,Helm, Glendening
Miller
Yeah Jurco should be up but we know he is going to get buried. Only chance he has is if we sign Alfie. Once Alfie is toast about a month into the season Jurco will take his spot.
Petri Kontiola wants to leave Traktor now. His goal is NHL.

Thoughts? Could get a number 2 center for pretty cheap
Any scouting reports?

Am I the only one thinking Tatar gets moved? Or they let another team offersheet him?
But why Drew Miller? We have guys like Abby, Helm, Glendening, Callahan, Ferraro. There is no need for him.

What have Callahan, Ferraro or Glendening proven they're better at than Miller, except being younger?
