As I am coming out of my funk I find this news uplifting.

Let's see how creative he can be. I never looked at the game review from last night (still too difficult to process), but goaltending has to be a hot topic. We were not good enough and we do not have the trust in Campbell at this time.

New GM duties:

Find cap space and upgrade - Trade Yams for a cheaper version with size? Move Ceci for someone with hands and good feet (2 years left will be chore to move)?

Address the goaltending. Both are signed, and Campbell can probably only be bought out.

What else?

They have to get rid of Yamo. For 3.1 mill, he isn't producing anywhere close to what he has too that is with one of Leon or McD at center. He's producing what 1mill players do. I don't know if that will change. In my opinion, championship teams take chances contract wise on players that have elite skill in efforts to hit homeruns but they pay guys that have OK skill according to what they do. Yamo is a 10-15 goal 25-35 pt guy. Those guys should be making 2 mill tops. I'd be calling the Hawks trying to trade them Yamo. They have Bedard coming and if you look at their roster, they might have 4 or 5 NHL forwards at best signed. They need live bodies.

Make a call on Foegele. I like him, I thought he had a good playoff. He's got size, some skill, skates really well and shows flashes but similar to Yamo, cap wise, he doesn't score enough to make 2.75 mill. He's being paid for what they hoped he would become and it hasn't happened.

If you look at both Yamo and Foegele as being bottom 6 guys who score you 10-13 goals, 25-30 pts, you can get those guys for 1-1.5 mill. Janmark is a prime example. Makes 1.25 mill, kills some penalties, scored 10 g, 25 pts in 66 games. That's with little to no time with McD and Leon.

They need to decide what to do with Broberg. He's got lots of potential but he needs to play. Kulak who I really like and I thought had a good playoff is in the spot Broberg should be in. It makes no sense to have Broberg as your 7th dman and you can't have a 2.75 mill 7th dman. So it's 1 or the other in my opinion. You could get value for Kulak if that is the decision.

They need to upgrade Ceci. It was clear to me, he was hurt. He couldn't get to pucks like he used too. But he had a rough year. Moving forward, Ekholm and Bouchard should be tied at the hip. Anyone who thinks being paired with Ekholm didn't help Bouchard elevate, I think you are blind. I think Nurse to excel needs a much more stable, predictable partner. He basically needs a slightly better skating Larsson. A guy who is defensive and he knows exactly what he gets from him. As soon as Nurse isn't sure what his partner is doing or capable of that game, he tries to do it all himself and it's a disaster. Ceci has a good contract for a top 4 guy, they need an upgrade on Ceci defensively. Use Ceci and something to get a guy who is better defensively to give Nurse the stability as a partner he needs because like it or not, Nurse with his contract is here. So find someone that better offsets his skills.
