am really surprised with how many people are still wanting to trade away assets for a crack at the cup this season. 15 Mil in cap space (including Booth buy out) to sign 7 players. And only Kassian, Schroeder,Dalpe, Santorelli and Tanev being the big fish to handle on our end. Lots could happen before season's end, but I have to guess that Dalpe will be gone, Santorelli is Touch and go for next season, I imagine. With Horvat, Schroeder and Gaunce vying for center spots, the best I can see Santorelli being is a utility guy. He obviously isn't going to be signed as a top 6 forward. If he is, this team is in trouble! Kassian's salary won't breach 2 mil and Tanev or one of the top 4 we currently have will be gone, so there's a spot for Corrado either way.

Assuming it's going to take about 7 mil to take care of the question mark slots (excluding the one beside the Sedins) and Kassian, that leaves the team with 8 million to spend!!! That's where we stand right now...Umm, yep, let's wait to spend the awesome accumulated young assets until next season. Because THAT is when you spend them! This team will be so freaking stacked. Fill the gaps next season, MG!!!!
Horvat is considered most NHL ready of the prospects who can or may fill some of the holes .Schoeder gives us some team speed on a third or fourth line they would be lighting up other teams 3rd an fourth lines put him on line with Kassian an another two way speedster perhaps Burrows on this line an they will be a very impressive result line ,this opens up options this summer or fa to sign another perhaps Kane or ott type younger version O'Rielly. this team would have both young blood home blood an veteran presence on team an could possibly compete an maybe get out of west otherwise its a long long wait,Treveor Linden it has been long time to start young Jr player we should do this with Horvat an put him out with Kessler that line could rock,if they get any KAne,O'Rielly or even Stastny that line would be deadly in first or second line ,instant scoring depth.
