Burakovsky - Assuming no QO but resigns
Vrana - skip the bridge, give this kid some term and build around him
Connolly - is able to cash in again once he turns 30.
Walker - takes Stephenson's spot on the 4LW and becomes a critical PKer.
Trade:
DAL desperately needs a top4 RHD. Niskanen fills that role well for them, in return they send back a young but often scratched RHD for WSH to groom with Siegs and Djoos. Mascherin is an upside young winger which WSH needs, and a mid round pick. Saw this + Janmark & a 3rd proposed by Dallas fans, but i removed Janmark from the deal and switched the 3 to a 4.
