I don;t know if the gap between Nylander and Koneckny is Frost and a pick.
Koneckny's production, salary and term brings it closer, but Frost who is getting up to game speed is still a quality prospect. But its close enough, Philly probably counters.
I like the acknowledgement of trying to improve the forward depth in lines 3 and 4, but 3 rookies and oldies in Spezza/Simmonds?
Not addressing the defense is problematic.
I can see the addition of a youngster or two, but you've got 6 on the roster while hoping simmonds/spezza can keep going. After only adding sandin and liljegren the past 2 years, I just cant see 6 of them arriving. I think it'll be lesser returns and while the plethora of youngsters get their feet wet, you'd be a yr closer to a matthews re-sign and replacing brodie/muzzin.
