Phew, tough to swallow Dube in that trade and I think I would rather have Killorn than Johnson. I think Mange is going to be about a million higher than that, and Czarnik is not being re-signed. I'm liking the general direction of the roster, though I feel that Stammer is kind of made from glass.

Not even close enough in terms of value for one of the top centers in the game.

Wow, that comes with a ton of asterisks...

Yeah I agree, I'm not thrilled about losing Dubé either. I had initially tried to do the trade with Mangiapane instead, but I don't think he saves Tampa enough money for them to bite. As for Czarnik, like you, I also can't see him being resigned, but I'm not sure who else goes in that third line RW spot instead. Maybe Virtanen or Fast, but they will probably be too expensive. Maybe you move Gawdin up to the third line and sign a guy for league minimum for the 4th line, but gotta be careful who that is as we wouldn't want to kill Phillips' development.
