People are going to flip when they find out Chicago's been dogging us because they've been watching Landy practice.

What? Lol

All this speculation, and it'll end up being something like Murphy (50% retained) + Donato for Colton + Malinski + a draft pick

I'd be down, I don't really believe in Colton as a top six winger. He's ok, but that was obviously a hot streak.

A real 3C, and someone who can push Manson for that #4 spot when he's off.

Sign me up

Yeah you have to hope Mitts turns things around, but you still have time if he doesn't. A legit 3C would allow Bednar to shelter the second line a bit.

Murphy is on IR so he'll fit right in

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Just give me Donato please. Would be such a quality add to our middle 6.

 

[BobRossColton]

Evans and Murphy could be right group

But it will most likely be more accepted in the locker room if it means they can keep Drouin...another player that is loved in the locker room. Everybody knows itis a business. As I said before winning helps forgetting.

Drouin is awesome and been great here. But I just have a lot of trouble trusting him as an integral part of this team. The dudes a bandaid. Idk, like I said in an earlier post I don't envy being CMac and having to deal with this Mikko situation.

It’s the perfect time to get our next captain, it’s time to make things right, go get Crouse!

You don't have to completely trust him though. He's not going to be expensive, and is likely to be #4 on the pay chart for the top six wingers.

We need a player that brings what he does at a cheap price.

The dude can literally play in every zone and loves it here. His work ethic is unquestioned, his commitment is unquestioned. You have to keep him.

I just don't feel the same way about Mikko. You know what, you don't get injured if you're unwilling to sell out.

If Mikko takes 10 or 11M sure, if not, you have to recognize his true value, and maximize it. This isn't the only year we can actually compete for a cup. With him gone you can actually give this team a real structure to win.

At this point I really hope they just move on, and build this team with depth in the right areas.

I mean he would have to be trusted though if he's going to be part of the solution for replacing Mikko. I'm not saying he shouldn't come back, he should. But if you're replacing Mikko with a guy who has issues staying healthy that's a problem for me. Especially considering one of our other top 6 pillars is also not reliable. I just feel like having our top 6 wings be Drouin, Nuke, Lehky going into next year is a great start on talent/fit... But for reliability that's a major problem.

Well you have to still include Landeskog until you can't.

So Landeskog, Nuke, Lehhky, and Drouin.

Also I've long believed having Landeskog, Lehkky, and Nuke all in this lineup makes Bednar’s system work at its peak.

What if you can actually get Svechnikov? Who fits that type of mold.

Having the ability to have Nuke, or Lehkky on the third line while healthy is the sauce IMO.

And Landy is also not reliable... I get Mikko is frustrating at times. But the dude is healthy and is consistently productive.

I'm sorry but if our top 6 wings next year and Lehky, Drouin, Landy, and Nuke that's a cause for concern for me.
