Foligno feel out of favour and found himself on the 4th line a lot of the year. Do you pay a 21 year old 4th liner anything over 1mil? IMO, along with Lee, he is one guy that could possibly be moved.
If Cullen is signed I think he takes that spot that Foligno was penciled in for the future.
Michalek/Spezza/Regin
Alfi/Fisher/Cullen
Neil/Kelly/Ruutu
Smith/Winchester/Bass
Wow, I cant even fit Kovalev in there...
Sadly I think both Bass and Smith play in the minors and it looks more like this. And that's assuming Foligno is traded.
Alfie/Spezza/Michalek
Kovalev/Fisher/Cullen
Butler (roster spot guaranteed)/Winchester/Regin(he'll be top six before mid season)
Neil/Kelly/Ruutu
