Follow these Rules. I want to see what people do if this ends up being the scenario.

1. Hudler is gone, via trade or offer-sheet
2. Hossa leaves for free agency, and doesn't return
3. Draper, Maltby, and Homer will not be traded.
4. Helm is on the team. Abdelkader is not.
5. Howard is back-up. End of story.
6. Lilja goes on LTIR.
7. Go with an even cap number of $57M (a 300k improvement).
8. Keep in mind you need to budget for a 13th forward and a 7th Dman.



Datsyuk (6.7)
Zetterberg (6.08)
Franzen (3.95)
Cleary (2.8) NTC
Holmstrom (2.25)
Filppula (3)
Maltby (.88)
Helm (.59)
Draper (1.58) NTC

Kronwall (3)
Lidstrom (7.45)
Rafalski (6) NTC
Lebda (.65)
Meech (.48)
Stuart (3.75) NTC
Lilja (1.25 - salary exempt)
Ericsson (.9)

Osgood (1.4)
Howard (.71)

Total: $52.17M (4.83M in space)

Perhaps Kindl could fill the D spot.

Sign a gritty forward.

[Johnny Diamonds]

Ok, I'd try to sign either Knuble or LaRose and then see if I can get Numminen on a one year contract.

[ComradeWasabi]

"A" gritty forward? That's nine forwards listed there, people. It's gonna take more than Mike Knuble or Chad LaRose to reach a team you can put on the ice, unless of course you are Mike Keenan.

[gcom007]

Call up Adam Banks from the Mighty Ducks of District 5 and call it a day.

[Coolio Mendez]

Perhaps Kindl could fill the D spot.

Sign a gritty forward.

Holland has stated several times Kindl is not NHL ready yet.

I'm a huge supporter of bringing in Lappy.

Haha, that made me laugh.

1. Try to re-sign Sammy for 1.9 (Even though he would make much more on the open market)
2. Attempt to bring back Bertuzzi for 1.4
3. Kopecky re-signs for 500K
4. Re-sign Leino for 900K

Salary comes to a total $4.7 Million

Just out of curiosity, why Kopecky? I'd rather see Downey play 2 minutes a game, give some extra shifts to guys like Helm and Leino, and call it a day then suffer through 8 minutes a night of Kopecky. And I'm not even a Downey fan.

Well, I have no real preference, but it seems Babcock would rather play Kopecky then Downey. I wouldn't mind seeing Downey at all. I just overlooked Downey more than anything.

Scratch that, too many centers.

The weather is hot but nice, go outside.

[uk_redwing]

Re-sign Downey. Dont care about the rest tbh. Another fighter like Lappy wouldnt go a miss though

(And before anyone tries an enforcer argument with me, I like having an enforcer on the team cos fights aref****** awesome and I want more of them.)

I knew you'd be here soon

I think Ive done well to go this long in all the roster threads before mentioning Downey

Try to reunite the much feared Ellis-Langfeld-Hussey line of 2007

One key problem with the premise of this thread: No way in hell (yes, I'll say it again, No way in hell) we lose Hudler AND Hossa.

Either we find a miracle way to keep both or one of them is gone and the other stays. There is absolutely no way Holland let's both walk and ends up behind the 8 ball.
