Still need to find a spot for Dickinson, Joshua, potentially Pearson... too many bottom line type guys, not to mention Hoglander was in Bruce's doghouse for poor 2-way play last year... he's not your prototypical 4th line guy. If we landed ZAR I would hope we find a suitor for Dickinson and/or Hoglander and get picks or prospects in return to fill another need.

Yea, I like Joshua's outlook but I also don't think he should be handed a spot in the top-13, and after last year Dickie is fringe waiver wire depending on his camp IMO. The wings are stacked tho - right now Dickinson - Lazar - Hoglander looking like the most likely 4th line. Pretty good, especially if Dickinson had a big healthy summer, but ZAR would be an upgrade on Dickinson in that role IMO, and likely for half the cap hit or so (i.e. waive Dickie, sign ZAR to 1.125M= same amount against the cap).

How about focus on your offseason training, let the GM and management worry about the roster.
