isnt really a concern. IMO Pirri is miscast as a 4th liner. They posted a goals per minute stat in one of the first few games, and a healthy Pirri was just outside the top 10. I also think Lindberg when healthy is a fine option at 3C. I think he's a guy who could anchor a 2 way 3rd line for a decade.
Im not advocating trading them, but I think Miller and Stepan are two guys that could be traded. Miller because he's gonna be very valuable but seems expendable, and Stepan because we have few salaries to trade. Basically youve got the two high priced guys (Hank and Nash), Stepan at $6.5 million, the untradables (Staal and DG), Kreider and McD on great deals, and Zucc who I think is indispensable. No one else is at 3+ million.
