Just wanted to see what it could look like on paper.
Here's what happened in this fantasy world:
#1. Traded Merrill to San Jose for picks.
#2. Traded Kinkaid for a pick.
#3. Signed Santini after he finished his Junior year at Boston.
#4. Signed veteran backup (Leighton).
#5. Found a loophole that brings Kovalchuk back to New Jersey on a 5 yr, $35M deal.
#6. Extended Palmieri, Josefson, and Kalinin.
#7. Signed Stamkos.
Do I think this is in the least bit possible? Not at all. Like I said above, just wanted to see it. Also, did not account for Boucher. Jury is still out on him, and I didn't know value he'd bring back, and/or if he'd be better to keep aboard than some of the others.
