That would be a lot of D with big cap hits, but at the same time I think all four are poised to blow away their 2016-17 production in 2017-18 and be solid for many years.
POTENTIALLY:
Zaitsev and Severson outgoing with 20th overall, 17th overall, Haydn and maybe one more prospect
for
Ghost and Hamilton?
I could potentially add Hayden (chi), D Raddysh, Gourde, even a Bjugstad.
Thoughts?
If I could get this done (and I think I might be halfway there) my starting 5 would be
Weber, OEL, Klefbom, Ghost and Hamilton.
I could afford all 5 (just barely) under the cap. Typing this out loud I think Id do almost anything to get this done- lol! Overpay mode engaged :P

That upgrade would be great and worth the additional salary. Zaitsev himself has a decent hit, so offsets some of the additional hit. I'd think about moving out Weber at some point for flexibility. You'd be so loaded on D that you could afford it.

Im a leaftard but I hate how little Zaitsev shoots. I added Krug for zaitsev and the 20th- I like this move in our format. My last move HAS to be for GHOST- lol!!!
