Hartnell-Richards-G
JVR-Carter-Briere
Wellwood-Talbot-Read
Shelley-?-Rinaldo
At that point I think they'd have about 700K to spend. Or maybe they would have had more because I'm looking at Kubina with a $3.8 million cap hit I don't think anybody would miss. Then again he was a deadline acquisition so we didn't take all of that, right? They could have also just traded Carter. Or Hartnell if he'd waive his NTC. And yes, with Richards on this team instead of Schenn/Simmonds, they are better.

You're telling me you think that lineup you have listed there is better than the one we put out this season?
