Protas-McMichael-Mantha
Lapierre-Kuznetsov-Miroshnichenko
Malenstyn-Dowd-NAK

Phillips rotating in

Fehervary-Carlson
Sandin-TVR
Edmundson-Jensen
Alexeyev-Pacioretty

Kuemper
Lindgren
Ok, we are getting close to my maximum capacity lineup.

Dump Beck, NAK and Lappy. Sprinkle in MaxPac, Milano, and Oshie.

Cover and let simmer for an hour. Then…..voila!
 
With Oshie moving to IR and losing/sending down Johansen, they should be able to sign Bear without making any more moves over the break, right? Assuming Milano doesn't come back in that time.

And this why Carberry > Lavy. Willing to inject youth, take chances, mix up the lines...when it makes sense. Gotta think Lappy is holding Milano's spot and hoping Miro takes over for TJ Oldie.

Really hope Miro performs well enough to replace some of the dead weaight.
 


I dont watch much Canucks hockey and have not really seen him play. He would prob be pretty expensive atleast our 1st rounder


* Looking him up hes pretty interesting. 27 year old russian who came over from the KHL last season and scored 39 goals. He might hate Vancouver and wants to play with the god father Ovie. He might even be cheaper if he wants out of Canada


Hes a UFA and has a NTC. I dont think he would be a rental if we trade for him.

Kuzmenko for Mantha straight up. Basically a wash $-wise. Tocchet is clearly done with Kuzmenko, and they could get a comparably priced top 6 who's a lot bigger than Kuzmenko and who sometimes plays like a North American, which Kuzmenko never does - so that would make Tocchet happy too

Kuzmenko shot 27% last year…so his production is down. Seems like a decent powerplay guy, but I don’t know much else about him.

But we are flush with wingers right now.
