Correct me if i'm wrong but no way Bergeron and Krejci sign for a combined 2.8 Mil

In theory they both could sign league min deals, but will obviously have big performance bonuses. In my mind Sweeney right now is trying to figure out how to structure both of their contracts so that they don't get shafted next year with big performance bonus carry overs.

No reason to take JD off the top line, plus an incentive for Krech coming back is to center Hall/Pasta. I also think Zacha gets at least 1mil more.

I personally want them to go DeBrusk-Bergy-Lysell to start. Could be considered a risky promotion but give him a shot. If it doesnt work you have the options to create 4 lines. It also lets you keep Debrusk with Bergy, get Hall-Krejci-Pasta line rolling and Zacha-Coyle-Smith familiarized with one another. And if Lysell clicks on that top line then they'll have plenty of options. I also think Studnicka will get a healthy look, maybe 1st line but I think 4th line. Freddy-Stud-Steen. Which also means I could see Nosek getting moved too.
