Carson Soucy isn't signing for anywhere close to that, and with Kempe, Fiala, Moore and Iafallo, we're full up on left-handed top-6 forwards, so Crouse is not all that appealing. Take Bjornfot out of that package and I could see paying it for Vejmelka alone, however.

The unprovoked Lizotte trade is WAY short on value.

Grit is needed, and I can see a solid 3rd pairing of Soucy & Clarke.

Crosse was added forward grit, with scoring touch. Honest question: Who other than him can fill that void?

Lizotte was a cap trade, to make the numbers work.
