Is there one we should worry about?
If he doesn't want any more Swedes, I would think not to worry about any from St Louis. Personally I think if Frederic is available as a free agent in the summer they will make a play for him. And as much as Monty might want Frederic, I doubt they are willing to give up a good asset for him.
 
Pasta and Brad are my favorites. I know Pasta won't be gone and hope Brad stays.

I don't hate any of the players and it matters not which players I want to stay as they do not ask me (OR anyone here).
Overall I still like our team. We need to be better coached so that we are more structured, and improve the special teams. I do think we need a top center and another winger who can put the puck in the net.
 
Acquiring Seth Jones makes me wonder if FLA resigns Ekblad, and what he would cost this summer as an FA.
If Carlo moves out, I’d rather have some of the cheaper options like Gavrikov, Pionk, Pettersson, but who knows… adding some of these solid FA D including Chychrun could be the shakeup we need and allow for larger acquisitions by moving McAvoy, Lindholm, Lohrei next year or beyond (I’d prefer to keep Lohrei the most but I’m sure he could fetch a haul in 2 years if we saw someone franchise altering come along). Chychrun would especially makes us younger and more mobile as well.

I would literally give up something to move Zadorov lat the moment though, his contract seems like it will age like a half enjoyed coors light at a summer frat party. If it was shorter/cheaper maybe I wouldn’t be so anxious.
 
Carlo playing over 25 minutes leading all Bruins skaters. I think their moving him. He was on the ice for a lot of PK time, but he still hasn't been close to this amount of ice time, Peeke has been garnering more.

Where is the Jake Neighbour's stuff coming from?
 
And there is overpayment #1 of the silly season.

Not saying these are locked solid, but there’s a week to go and depending on injuries and what rival teams do, if a GM gets desperate these are possible.

Marchand a 1+

Coyle a 2

Carlo a 1 or 2+

Frederic a 2

Geekie a 2+
What's the saying about counting chickens before they hatch?

When my wife taking control of the remote for the third period in game 7 of 2019 didn’t work, I stopped believing in all the superstitions.

Now, during games I sit where I want, eat what I want, keep the remote regardless of score and say what I want to say.

Is it an overpayment? there is an 18% chance that second round pick plays 100 games in the NHL, probably no more than a 10-12% chance that second round pick is ever as good as Lindgren is today,

There is no way I let Geekie go for a 12% chance that in 5 years there is someone as good as him to replace him. Same thing with Carlo, No way I trade him for a pick outside of the lottery. And really I only trade him to bring in someone who is a young player in or on the verge of the NHL, or in the NHL on the verge of breaking out.

Coyle in terms of a 2nd, may make sense as you are talking the opportunity cost to open over 5 million to replace him
