They are both arbitration eligible RFAs making a little over 1M, so it would cost a little more, say 1.25 to 1.3M just to retain. Dewar I could go either way. They'd get younger and hungrier, but not sure you get much more than Koppanen or Poulin for 500k less and maybe more if he gets a better ruling.

Timmons though I'd keep because he looks like a guy you can bump up a bit when needed behind Letang and EK. Then again, St. Ivany is out of options and brings another element and Brunicke is coming at some point. Still, seems to solid to just let walk.

Always with the Poulin…

Don’t be shocked if they get moved for a pick. Cap going up and those deals won’t look THAT bad.

Here's the question though, who is taking picks for space next year? About time Chicago and SJ tried to improve, already have a feanchise player, and one could be ineligiblefor the top pick next year.. Nashville spent a ton and wants to compete. Buffalo needs to make a move before their young talent walks... again. Seattle is too young to throw away a season.

Might be a good idea for Boston or Philly. And maybe a team decides to tank just because McKenna. TLDR is I don't see a lot of the teams at the bottom choosing to stay there. Makes more sense for the Pens than most.

Still think he deserves the shot and would improve the fourth line. He's going to score 20 goals while spending half the year on the third line.

No guaranteed success yes. Still weird as a firmer first (even with another GM) he's never gotten an extended look as he's always been one of WBS's top scorers and PKers.
