Dear All,

I have successfully created a perfect 71,000,000 roster for 2014-2015 season.

Please see the attached file for reference, any comments would be helpful.

I believe this roster is highly competitive and can get us into the playoffs.

Thank you.

A much more competitive roster that fits Lindens & Bennings Vision of incorporating youth, size, grit, skill, vet presence and balance (4 lines that can play both skill & grind style) would look more like this after these additions.

1. Horvat, Jensen, Kassian, Matthias, Tanev, Lack, Markstrom

2. Add a top 6 Vet with skill, grit, leadership. Iginla fits the bill. Sign him to a cap friendly bonus heavy contract

3. Add a Young Physical Stay at home Dman with potential. Matt Greene has heart of a warrior

4. Add a Vet Dman with a big right shot to stabilize the D core. Salo (allow him to retire a Canuck & help the PP)

5. Add a physical bottom 6 forward with leadership. Thornton

6. Retain current core that underachieved: Sedins, Kesler, Burrows,Hamhius, Bieksa (OD), Garrison (good chemistry with Juice i.e world championship) and Edler( will regain form with a physical stay at home D partner)

7. Unfortunately buyout Booth

8. Move youth in & out from Utica: Fox, Lain, Corrado, Hunter S, Darren A...

9. Sign Depth NHL experience forwards to supplement farm & parent team: Dalpe, Jordan S...

10. Retain significant cap space to add at the deadline if need be: Approx 3.9 million

Team Looks more like this:

Switch Horvat with mattias, switch mattiias with higgins

Don't know why Higgins keeps getting pushed down the depth chart, or even being traded completely. Guy plays about as hard as minutes as anyone else on the team, yet still managed to be one of the few players who produced more than his salary suggests.
