I like most of this. I wouldn't do the Myers trade and the reason is Viro. He may not be talked about much but I see him as someone like Seigenthaler in the future. I just feel he's the type of guy you need to help teams win, I could be way off and he could be nothing but I would keep him. I don't think if we take Myers for a third anything should go back.
I would try and sign a better free agent than Myers and well, Schenn, Mayfield, Clifton come to mind. I wouldn't do Gudas eff that guy.
I would think Hill might be coveted and would need more money, I don't think 4M but maybe 3.5+. He would be a great pick up but he will have options.
I'm iffy on Addison but worth the try in my opinion.
I would be trying to get a better 4C. I would resign Suter or try for Acciari, Blueger or Bjugstad. Someone like that. Fabbri should not be a centre and a fourth line centre at that. Let Soderblom play in Grand Rapids to start the season or scratch Zadina, probably not a popular idea though. Injuries will happen and they will all get time. Fabbri needs to be in there middle six to be effective.
Talking about that third pair defence again, they would be either really tough to play against or guys will just skate right around both of those pylons and they would be awful. Honestly rather have Johansson play with Chiarot until Edvinsson is back than Myers. He deserves the time in my opinion.
I like what you did with the draft selections and salaries, clever.
Willander is gone before we pick in the second round, if we don't take him at #17 he is likely gone before #25. He's going to be a high riser in my opinion. I think teams will covet what he brings and the fact that he looks like a pretty safe bet. I would be happy drafting him at #17 or f possible trading up to grab him.
