Guessing this is your first post on this topic, thought since it said stage 2 there was a first post by you. I do think Kovy gets 2 years $5.75-$6.5M not $7M. After this past season, I don’t see Skjei making $6M, rather I see 6 years around $5M. Do you think Colorado does Namestnikov instead of Spooner? Kind of love how Spooner came here and almost was a PPG player.
Zero knock on Zadarov at all, but NYR just traded for Hajek and Lindgren who are both LHD NYR need a RHD. Can Zadarov play on the right side?

Thanks man, I hadn't done a direct stage 1 or anything, was thinking of this past year as the "rebuild stage 1". Kovy could definitely come down if he actually wants to be on the Rangers, I'm sure some team would give him 7. Yeah Skjei could be anywhere between 5-6 mill. Colorado might want Namestnikov, I'm not sure which one I'd want more, Spooner or Vlady. Both have upside. Didn't really take into account Zadarov being a LHD. I was trying to find teams with a need to change things up and needed to improve their forward group and had decent D depth to make a trade with. Calgary, Edmonton, Carolina, LA also come to mind.
