Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Think the Philly trade is pretty even. Anything else added/subtracted? Philly gets a younger center, mentor for D, and winger to help with short term scoring. Preds get much-needed scoring to balance out top 6.
Bottom 6 is still a little weak but that could be fixed with another free agent or at trade deadline.
Bonino traded because he had a much better year than expected, so should get assets while his trade value is at its highest.

Lines:
Forwards:
Voracek just needs to feed the puck to Forsberg and Duchene and they should each score 30 goals.
Turris should rebound with Giroux and Arvy. If Turris can't rebound, then he has to go, but that would seem unfathomable with those two wingers.
Smith and Grimaldi are good 3rd liners who like to shoot. Sissons is a very reliable 3C and can play up and down lineup if need be.
4th line is the 4th line.

Defense:
Josi and Fabbro should make a good pair. Josi and roam around while Fabbro gets used to top 4 mins.
Ekholm and Ellis have been great together, so that is not an issue.
I know there are 2 leftys on the third pair, but Hamhuis can mentor Hagg.

Thoughts?
