They will have about 12 million dollars to sign thomas, krecji , kessel, hunwick. Problem is that how do you divide the pie properly??
I can see a scenerio where you sign krecji and kessel to 4 million per year deals for 4 years , then 3 million per year for another 2 to 3 years but i doubt hunwick will just sign for 1 million dollars which would be all left from the off season fund.
Bruins will also have to part ways with manny fernandez, pj axeson, stephen yelle, kobasew.
I'd hate to give up a great player like savard but we might have to trade him to make all of this work(because bergeron won't retire and sturm is damaged goods). Savard is a great player and will be productive for years to come but we can't lose kessel, krecji, hunwick and we do need goaltending. (plus with another headache of needing cash to sign lucic, wheeler, rask years soon after)
any suggestions?
