Fix the biggest hole of top 4 LD and partner for parayko. Of the options, I like chych the best because of his contract. I know he’d be the most expensive to acquire but he’s 2 million less AAV than someone like provorov. Would add more to get him if needed. Pay almost any price to get it done as long as we keep one of our first round picks from this year and next and one of Bolduc and neighbors. This also gets scandella off the books without a cap penalty the three years after this season when we’ll need that space even more. Keep all the UFAs and make decisions in the off-season. My guess would be vladdy and barbashev aren’t signed. Especially if Barby puts up another big year and wants a big contract. Give Perron 3 years to keep the aav low and really front load it so that if a buyout was needed, it would be cheap. 4th line is still pretty weak. I like Dak a lot and think bitten could make the step this year too. Dak had a great AHL playoffs. All these guys would more or less cycle in and out with some of the other top Ahl guys. Torpchenko will reclaim his spot when he’s healthy. Maybe some deadline magic if these guys aren’t getting it done on the bottom line. Also neighbors might be able to make the jump at some point. Don’t rush him but also don’t not call him up when he’s ready.
