I imagine Carrick stays, as he wasnt moved at the deadline. Benoit i think at the very least stays as a 7... hes been sturdy not great but not awful either. Steel prob stays on as a 13th forward... they seem to be molding him into a bottom 6 player now, doing a little more penalty killing and what not. I just dont think we need milano to stay... glad he showed some flashes but hes not really what we need in the top 6.Next season I See...
???? - Zegras - ????
McTavish - Rico - Terry
Comtois - Lundy - Silf
Jones - Grant - ????
???? - Drysdale
Fowler - ????
Vaak - Shattenkirk
Fill the holes...
Bring someone like Des in or bring Des back
Add two Top 4 to best compliment Fowler and Drysdale. One of those could be Helleson. He will hopefully be ready in a year or to replace Shattenkirk.
Go after a Top player like Fiala to play with Zegras, and maybe Perreault makes the team next season or add a stop gap Top 6 RW for Z
Does Verbeek keep Steel, Milano, Carrick, or Benoit ?
I think the goal should be to be competitive by the time Zegras is Terry‘a age. 2-3 years. If done right these last few or so years of misery will turn into a decade plus of contending.
Ill be in my 40’s but it’s all good. Lol
I also think Comtois will be part of a trade.
Ideally i would love to bring in Fiala + 1 of Bertuzzi/Marchament/Domi to our top 9.
