those seem like all reasonable targets. Personally, salaries are too high for Barrie and Nuge.... too low for Nemeth & Armia. Both taking significant paycuts? Smith deserves that modest raise!
I think we need to revamp LW completely, but I wonder what the development plan is for Holloway with big, long terms deals for Nuge, Tatar & Coleman? Or do you play him at center behind 97, 29 and McLeod. Just a consideration. Big salaries with big term are tough to move - something to consider with those 3 new contracts on LW. Id start holloway in AHL, but he might only need half a season and then what?
D hasnt improved enough to think we'll challenge for the cup. Its a dilemma for me and i have no strong feelings. I like Barrie, Bear, Larsson & Bouchard........... but not enough room for all three until injury! I like Nemeth, One thing we lack on D (Stauffer says its coming) is wingspan. Besides Darnell, everyone is "normal" size. We could use a guy more of it and move Russell to 7th Dman.... with Broberg & sam in the minors to start. Guys from winning organizations is important - Oleksiak, McNabb.... i know, they dont grow on trees. Hard to get them on a 1 or 2 year deal too. But the D hasnt improved enough for playoffs.... maybe improve that at deadline..... i guess.
Jujar. So good on PK. Size. So bad on faceoffs. Defensive guy and completely loses man in game 3 on goal #3. ive mixed feelimgs about him coming back. Be more interested in Rightie center who can take draws instead of 29 on PK. Sutter? Glendening? Bozek? Bozek would be my pick on a 1 yaer, inexpensive deal and hope he doesnt contract Belanger-Turris syndrome.
All in all not bad..... have you added enough scoring in bottom 6 with Coleman & Armia? D needs significant upgrade on left side for playoffs.
