The RFA/UFA class two years from now will be impossible to resign. Hoffman, Schenn, Thompson, Petro, Faulk, Dunn. Woof.

Solid team until then though.

Should have plenty of cap space with Gunnarson and Bouw off the books along with the $14 million on this roster. Also, cap will likely continue to increase. But I agree lots of big names have contracts for only two years

Good team, some trades are a little bit off, and not sure I would specifically target Faulk but I like it.

I am not thrilled with Faulk but I could not think of many affordable trade value wise RHD.

I think some RHD's that would be decent in replacing parayko to play on the 2nd pairing would be; Ceci, Myers, Tanev, Severson, and Braun with the last 3 being the hardest to obtain. I would prefer Myers out of all of them, WPJ has a log jam at RHD with Buff and Trouba, so if we did trade Parayko for Draisaitl (or another top center) he would be a suitable replacement.

Whats the deal with Faulk? for the last week I have beens seeing his name pop up almost everywhere.

I'm glad you said Severson, but I don't think he's the hardest to obtain. He struggles with consistency, but I think he can be in the same mold as Klefbom. His offense could see a boost and he's not afraid to throw his body around. I'd obviously prefer Parayko, but if you move Parayko for Severson and maybe someone like McLeod, I'm not sure i'd necessarily do it, but i'd consider it.

I believe it would have to be separate trades, so Parayko and barbashev / sanford for Drai and then schmaltz + sobotka + Thompson / pick for Myers or Ceci. I would love to get a top Center but I love parayko..

Very good, and there is plenty of cap space to resign in the future.

I agree if you can trade Parayko for Draisaitl then that's the right move. I would also consider keeping Schmaltz and trading Walman for Myers or Ceci. Overall, I think I would only trade Parayko for Draisaitl or another young center like that.
