2025 26 Roster…too Soon

Korch has no chance of making the roster next season.

Lev will stay with the Hawks. For his age, he's driving good data and he's able to keep up with the physicality of NHL hockey.

Moore could potentially spend more time Rockford. We'll see. He definitely has no issue with the speed of the game. I'd say it depends on how big he can get in the offseason.
It's a mixed bag when looking at the dmen group since Lev was called up. His corsi #'s are ok but high danger chances against and expected goals against are no great shakes. I get it that Alpo Sorenson is the coach but he's not on the PK and he was not on the ice for the last couple minutes of yesterdays game leading up to the ENG. He needs to iron out some of his play in his own zone. There's no doubt about his physical tools.
 
With the way the Rangers are playing, they might be headed for a full rebuild.

I feel like Lafreniere will be available just because he hasn’t lived up to expectations. Not sure we’re the team to fix him, but I assume there’ll still be plenty of interest.

I know you have some whacky takes sometimes - but is this a joke? Trade KK, Boisvert and two 1st's for one of the worst #1OA picks in recent memory who can't skate, has questionable effort, and is currently tied for 150th in NHL scoring - 1 point more than Tyler Bertuzzi.

OMG!!!!

OMG!!!!
he just wanted to make sure everyone remembered he still doesn’t like boisvert very much.

Idiotic trade. Lafreniere has to prove he’s worth his contract before the idea of trading a haul opens up. Doesn’t have a single 60 point season in two years. Bedard has two.

Just so misguided. I don’t know if he thinks highly of Laf (which he shouldn’t) or if he’s that low on the prospects (which he shouldn’t).

But with that kind of package, I expect Pastrnak to be coming back the other way.

lol you're not getting Pasta for two low 1st round picks, and two B tier prospects.
 
Nashville D… plus a #1 overall forward, a #2 overall forward, and Nazar and whatever else shakes out to be good in the pool or in FA. It’s actually a pretty insane haul of players. Rinzel and Vlasic hitting are insane value adds to the team. They neither one had any business being this good.

Imagine if your core was just Levshunov and Korchinski with Bedard and Nazar. You’d be pretty meh about it. The Vlasic and Rinzel hits before we have even started to takeoff from the runway is what will make this a potential perennial contender for a long time.
I think the Defense Vegas had when they won the Cup would be a bit of a (hopeful) model. Whole bunch of big guys that could skate and multiple "#1s"

Trade for Thachuk...KK, Lardis, Reichel and 2026 1st Unprotected and signing rights to Donato (Staios and the owner are former Bulldogs, so they would know Lardis well)
Sign Marner
Draft Schafer
Go win

Thachuk-Bedard-Marner
TT-Nazar-Mikheyev
Bertuzzi-Dickenson-Moore
Dach-Foligno-Slaggert
Veleno

Schafer-Rinzel
Vlasic-Levshunov
Kaiser/EDM-Murphy

Knight
Soderblom

Waiting in the wings are: Boisvert, Greene, Vanacker, Kantserov, Thompson, Allen, Crevier, Savoie, Spellacy etc...

The only other move that I would consider is Bertuzzi a couple of prospects and a first or second for Rackell.

I’ll try this on my NHL 25 franchise tomorrow and report back!
