Domi and duclair just arent taking that money, domi wants to stay a leaf and will get 4-4.5 easily from them and duclair will easily be asking for 4-5M esp with the cap going up. also while chyc + 2nd is solid value for ullmark Im not sold chyc is a good fit. u have lindholm and u should be trying to get lohrei as much top 4 time as possibly and look for a older vet to sign on a 1-2 year deal to fill the 3rd line role and split time with wotherspoon. I also just think lindholm is going to be a bruin. Even if the fans dont like the 7.75-8.25 cap hit he will bring he just seems far to much like the perfect fit. hes a top 2 line C who has planed first line C in the past is a great 2 way player and can easily slot between zacha pasta or march JDB/coyle (depending if he stays) pots would get 3rd line and beecher would get 4th (unless they just rotate the 4thc between boqvist, beecher, geekie, lauko and whoever else)

i would stay away from duclair and domi - the latter just isn't really a center. he can fill in, but he isn't the guy. save the cap, ditch the chychrun acquisition, and go after lindholm.
