Without a doubt, Burkie will kick the tires on the Parise/Suter front. Realistically, I can see Burke adding a couple forwards to solidify the bottom six, and maybe one veteran blueliner. If he chooses to deal with our two most pressing issues (#1C, Goalie), I feel it'll be dealt with through a trade. Here are some players I can see us signing:
C Paul Gaustad
LW Travis Moen
RW David Moss
C Adam Burish
LW Daniel Winnik
RW Brandon Prust
D Greg Zanon
If Burke signs anyone for the bottom six, I hope it's Prust.
Go big or go home. We don't have any room for overpaid depth players unless we shed some salary.
That said, Prust makes me lick my chops. Watching a fair bit of Rangers games this year, he was phenomenal on the pk, and does everything Burke wants out of a player. Very versatile. He's the only depth player I think we should look into.
Kadri is as good as a bust. I don't even think the Leafs project him as a long-term player anymore. He is a top 6 player or nothing at all, and right now with the current team depth he's nothing at all.

Prust is asking for just over $2 million a season.
