    Boedker
    Ryan
    Turris
    Voracek

    Schwartz then Foligno if you need LW, but overall I would go for Voracek or Turris.

    Has Voracek played much of LW lately? I know he has had dual eligibility in the past.

    If you're in a hurry I'd probably replace Atkinson with Voracek in your case and pickup Foligno or Schwartz with the free roster spot.

    If not I'd wait to see what the injury situation is with Ryan Callahan although it looks like he's DTD.

    Is he though? Would you expect 70+ points out of him this season?

    Absolutely not this season, not without a better center.

    30/30/60 with a bad +/- and 250ish shots and good PPP is my projection. I could be wrong though, he's high-risk high-reward, the type of players i go for.

    Sounds about right, that would be a decent return

    Situation has been complicated by having three IR eligible players. Thoughts on dropping Kadri for Shaw?
