Well, Stevie basically said he isn't going big so here's the best I could come up with for the FA period:
1. Sign Anthony Duclair-LW for 3 years $9M (or right around that figure)- guy is a fast skater, good scorer, has a bit of an abrasive side, and only 25 years old
2. Sign Matt Benning- RHD for 2 years $2.25M (again, right around that)- guy has some good experience and production until this year. Hoping for a cheap bounce back. Younger guy as well.
3. Sign Thomas Greiss- Goalie for 3 years $8.25M- I like him to get the majority but split times with Bernier. Love his German background and experience. He can man the post till a young guy takes over.
Projected lines:
Mantha/Larkin/Bertuzzi
Duclair/Fabbri/Zadina
Helm/Rasmussen/Svechnikov
Timashov/Gagner/Smith
Extra: Nielson/Erne
