If we get either Parise or Suter to waive, we’ll be just fine. That allows us to protect Foligno and it honesty isn’t the worst to lose one of the other guys. He’s the only one at risk of exposure that we truly *can’t* lose, the rest are replaceable internally or through cheap UFA signings.

I really think you’re missing the part where this trade makes sense if Sturm gets elevated.

But here’s the thing. Greenway has trade value. Sturm, even though he’s a fan favorite, doesn’t. And this scenario only matters if we go 7-3-1. If we do that, we likely trade Greenway before expansion for exempt assets. That just makes it more likely Soucy gets taken.

The plan was for Perry to play less also but look what happened. As a result, Lehkonen sat, Byron sat, Evans sat.

Yes i know what you mean but the way i see it, Drouin and Greenway are competing for the same minutes. Drouin in botton 6 mins is a waste and a bad deployment IMO. Thats why it has to be either or.

If he does come back, you try to move him before getting Greenway. If he stays on LTIR then you get Greenway.

I also didnt mention Armia who i think would be a worthy resign as well. But I think Lehkonen should be moved also to make place for resigning Armia if possible.
