No way Shattenkirk, Berglund and Sobotka brings Drouin AND Johnson. Shattenkirk and Berglund for Drouin is more realistic, but still not very realistic. Remember, Sobotka is cheaper than Johnson, so he would probably be the better option, especially considering the fact that Brouwer is probably going to make more than $4.75. I also don't see Brodziak signing a two year deal for that cheap. Letting Upshall walk and Rattie play full time is more realistic. On defense, I do agree that Schmaltz will get his chance this season.

This morning Army mentioned bringing in players who would work better with Tarasenko. I have to wonder if that means trading Lehtera if you can get someone to take that contract.

Finally, I think Schwartz is going to demand way more than $4.5 million.
