Best news is that Juulsen is back to 100%. Hope they sign McCarron for another year. Not sure what to do with Alzner- unmovable unless they retain 50% of his contract. Even then, might have to take a small cap dump back in return. Lernout is finished with this org.
Juulsen being 100% is definitely the best news.
I'm all for bringing McCarron back. He was really good this year. He was quicker on his feet, strong along the boards. And Bouchard really helped him take a step in the right direction.
I liked Audette, as well. But if I had to pick, I'd choose to bring McCarron back.
From the AHL contracted players, I would like to see Belzile and Jevpalovs back. I wouldn't mind having Grenier back, either. I think he's better than what he showed this year. He was an AHL All-Star the year before he joined Laval. He did improve towards the end of the year, though.
They can't go through another big roster turnover again. We know some prospects will join next year. But they need to have elements return. Have a sense of stability.
