Barrie signed for 1x$1.25m.

 

That's a good deal.  Likely means Hanley on waivers very soon.

So, if the plan is to tank, does keeping a guy that scores 20-30 goals a good idea?

He was a -8 to Huberdeau's -29.

Every bad team still has one of those, what you want is guys who will mail it in by February.  Who's most likely to do so, vet with multi-year, multi million dollar deal or prospect trying to get to that level.

I am one of the few that likes Kuzmenko.  It's for purely selfish reasons.  I like the skills he brings and like the fit he has with several members on the team.  I would prefer no Mantha but keeping Kuzmenko.  He's more exciting to watch, from a fan perspective.  He may not win you more games when you consider his overall games, but we aren't at a place yet where that matters.  Does his experiences and skills getting passed on to the kids seem like a bad idea?  The offensive ones are just fine.  2-way play not so much.  Maybe he can teach Pelletier where to go to score.  Don't need another Huberdeau.
