I keep Gambrell and Del Zotto for depth
I resign Forsberg one more year to be our third goalie
I sign Sanford
I trade Paul + Branns vs Giroux
- Crosside
- not sure you'll have much choice with Del Zotto, Gambrell has been fine
- Forsberg would still be the #1A/#1B, once Murray is bought out
- Paul >> Sanford
- sign Giroux as a UFA
Now, IF they're going to trade Brannstrom (IF), I'm starting to think it might be best to target as high a draft pick as they can get. They really don't need any more mediocre roster player at F/D, and after this year they have no additional 1st/2nd round picks other than their own... and I'm not sure they're going to get more than a 3rd/4th pick for anyone they're likely to trade by the deadline. Plus, strategically it would give them the benefit of some inexpensive quality depth in a few years' time, when they'll be tighter to the cap.
