Alright I would first start off be getting cleary stuart and maybe even lilja signed. The one free agent I would target is the righthanded shooting Ryder. He shouldn't cost more than 3 million for a 2 yr deal. I would also sign chelios to his usual one yr deal and let drake walk for sure. If Mac impresses I say sign him cheap for one more year and Downey also. this is what my lineup would look like.
Datsyuk-zetterberg-holmstrom
cleary-filpulla-ryder
kopecky-franzen-samuelsson
maltby-draper-mccarty
hudler-downey
lidstron-rafalski
stuart-kronwall
lilja-chelios-meech-lebda- one has to go and it might be lilja or lebda
We could easily do all this and have more than enough to give zetterberg his contract. Especially if we let Lilja go because he might cost more than 2 million which he isn't worth.
