I agree having Krug and Vatanen together might not be ideal. They certainly can tinker with that. Hargrove - I just plugged him in there. I'm sure they can find a veteran or another young guy to play on the 4th line for that same cap hit. The money on Chara might be more realistic then you think - his cap hit for 16/17 is $6.9 and then it goes down to $4 mill for 17/18 season. If Anaheim resigns Vatanen they'll be paying him somewhere around $9 mill over the next 2 seasons. So perhaps they may have an appetite for paying $11 mill for Chara, over that same period.
As for the trades not making sense....I disagree. Chara, a puck moving prospect, and a 1st rounder for Vatanen sounds like a haul for Anaheim. The Myers trade would probably need more work. But, I was thinking of it from the perspective that Myers may be a movable part for them since they just paid Big Buff $7.2 mill per year. They have a lot of money invested at D. I think a package could be put together for him. Griffiths would be a regular on Winnipeg's top 6 for a cheap cap hit.
