How do we do this next year

I can't imagine keeping Klingberg over Addison makes a ton of sense. Calen should certainly be cheaper than 3.5M. I would be shocked if none of Rossi, Walker, or Beckman don't make the team next year. Bringing back one of MarJo or Sundqvist makes sense but Gaudreau probably walks to make room for a young guy

I think CDE would be livid if Gaudreau was allowed to walk. The guy is a Swiss army knife. If we can get him for 1.5M he's one of those great middle 6 guys you can count on.

I think Klingberg is an older, bigger, better Addison. If we're just getting to Faber or one of the many other Dmen we've got, then it makes sense to sign and trade Addison. I was thinking of it more as Dumba or Klingberg at around 4M rather than Klingberg or Addison.

Yea I think they try to bring back Klingberg if the price is right. I think the writing is on the wall that they dangle Addison this summer after how this season has gone between him and the org - and at this point I don't think they want two undersized RHD on that blue line anyway.

No way they allow Gaudreau to walk, I think both sides agree on a team-friendly deal (3-4 years @ 1.5M?) after the relative success he has had. Agree with Russo that they need to bring back JoJo if him and Boldy keep weaving magic. He'd be another cheap add with two more years of the cap crunch to deal with.
