Ya, Mrazek is probably a long shot, but I keep hearing Brian Elliott's name out there, and hate the idea - I'd be ok with Neuvirth even over Elliott. As for which of the young kids comes up next year (Jones, Bear, Persson) I think it's open for debate, but my instinct here is play the older Persson, and let the kids overdevelop a bit - at least to start the season. Bouchard and Jones could both push their way on the team by Christmas.
As for the Russell deal - I like it as a base. I'm not sure what kind of sweetener would be needed... I doubt picks are that appealing to TOR at this point. Maybe some salary retained? I could also be persuaded to offer a prospect (Bear?), but in that case I think I'd like a prospect back as well, and don't know enough about TOR prospects to propose something.
Connolly - classic Oilers overpay. I feel like it's going to happen, and if it's going to happen, I think I'll risk it on Connolly over Chiasson, and don't think someone like Tanev or Pirri will actually be available.
