People often talk about no depth in this organization & yet Merilainen comes in & passes Sogaard on the depth chart & is making Forsberg expendable or given them a reason not to re-sign him. Ostapchuk comes in earlier in the yr & pretty much has earned a regular job, if not this yr then next yr for sure. He's guy size, toughness, speed, is very good defensively & is decent in the faceoff circle.
Matinpalo comes in & looks better than Hamonic & although I think Yakemchuk ends up next to Kleven sooner rather than later, Matinpalo has proven he can be a decent injury replacement. Meanwhile Halliday is back to form & I imagine that by this time next yr he will be the next young guy going up & down from Belleville & filling a niche. Even Highmore & Reinhardt have not looked out of place, MacEwan does what we need him to do & Kleven as a rookie is having a strong season & getting better every game. They have some decent depth.
We have a good amount of bottom line and pairing depth, but we need more skilled depth. Yakemchuk, Montgomery, and Halliday are our only skilled prospects, which is concerning.People often talk about no depth in this organization & yet Merilainen comes in & passes Sogaard on the depth chart & is making Forsberg expendable or given them a reason not to re-sign him.

I am not sure. I did that on excel while sleep & coworker-deprived. I edited it this morning to remove the double post.How did you do that......twice?
Isn't that what Perron, Amadio, Gaudette are suppose to be, top nine fillers? I would add Ostapchuk, Greig & Cousins can also fill into the top nine but I think you mean a goal scorer or point producer which again Perron was suppose to be of all those guys. Gaudette putting up 13 goals was unexpected & helps.Feels they’ve got a ton of depth for the 4th line. We need more guys who can “move up and down the lineup” and contribute on the top 3 lines.
I don't think that is concerning because our best players are in their mid-twenties or younger & should be around for a while & as we add good & better players should only improve the team.We have a good amount of bottom line and pairing depth, but we need more skilled depth.

we don’t have skilled depth because we traded 7 , 12th overall and totally burned 10th overall. Three straight drafts. Not because we are agingI don't think that is concerning because our best players are in their mid-twenties or younger & should be around for a while & as we add good & better players should only improve the team.
That is also what happens with NHL teams as they age, they usually get better & usually start drafting higher which reduces their skilled depth. They also need to get lucky with some later picks who surprise as Batherson has. Ottawa has good young depth & are still adding one or two good young players per yr. Replacing Giroux & improving the bottom six is probably their biggest need.
To be fair one of those turned into Ullmark and another one Jensen. Both are significantly more valuable to us for the next while than picks. But we also don't have a first in one the next two drafts, so there's that.we don’t have skilled depth because we traded 7 , 12th overall and totally burned 10th overall. Three straight drafts.

I think Ott has two guys in their org who could both be pt producers in time with Halliday & Yakemchuk & I have proposed that they sign a UFA like Boeser RW to replace Giroux. Who do you think they should pursue to fill that need in the top six/nine?
Right but we still don’t have skilled depth lol.To be fair one of those turned into Ullmark and another one Jensen. Both are significantly more valuable to us for the next while than picks. But we also don't have a first in one the next two drafts, so there's that.
Staios will have to be very savvy for us to not experience a dip after the contracts start expiring in 3 years.
We kind of run into all the same problems with those guys tho. As soon as they have to fill in beside Stutzle. Or beside Norris and tkatchuk, they become extremely frustrating.Perron is definitely supposed to be that guy. Big loss IMO.
Amadio I haven’t been a big fan of, too vanilla.
Gaudette I don’t trust as much as I’d like.
I’d like to see them add someone with good speed or size who can contribute on the PK.
Greenway is one guy I’d look at once he’s back from injury assuming we can keep close to the playoffs.
Yakov Trenin would be amazing.
Mikheyev would be interesting as well, even if overpaid.
Colton Sissons, Brandon Tanev and Noel Acciari are more bottom liners but would be good adds.
Right but we still don’t have skilled depth lol.
I think we would have acquired Jensen anyway probably for a much lower cost.
But yeah. No firsts essentially for 3 years. That will kill any possible callups to play any sort of meaningful minutes and contribute at forward
