I like what they have now. Good mom of vets and young guys.
If they can get Severson to play well (and last game he did), then they have all the pieces for a solid D.
Try to keep Provorov.
And Guddy will be back eventually.
 
This thread is more about offseason right? Because the consensus is that Provorov will most likely get traded before TDL.

TOP4 for Evason has been

Werenski - Fabbro
Mateychuk - Provorov

You take out Provorov, you need top4 caliber RD. So... Brandon Carlo? Noah Dobson? Rasmus Andersson?

Hard to say who Waddell might be eyeing out here but this is the area where he should swing big. Improve the defence with the amount of assets that we have.

I've been pushing for Andersson since the off-season and still feel he's a perfect fit. The caveat... he's only signed through next year and could be Provorov all over again if he wouldn't extend this Summer. I think adding him and keeping Fabbro as the 2nd pair RHD would put this team in a very strong position long term. Doesn't even need to be big contracts. Want to extend each for 3 years... works for me. Go 4-5 with Rasmus and 3 with Fabbro... OK. He's the top pair RHD that would be a huge boost.

If that were even possible I think you'd be looking at Provorov going out for a hopeful 1st and that would provide 2 additional 1sts (whether both this year or not, still good assets to move). We have young players to move and we have cap space to extend both without disrupting the future.

Werenski Andersson
Mateychuck Fabbro ???
Severson Gudbranson
JJ or Harris or Hunt or Christianson as an extra

That's a lot for a "bottom" pair and maybe these don't fit but for one year it's manageable and slide Severson back to the right side after Gudbranson leaves (no clue if Severson can play his off side but this would lessen his minutes and be a huge plus as a 3rd pair guy).

Just spit balling, but Andersson is the guy I chase if anyone.

My vote was for Andersson as well, but I was thinking putting him with Mateychuk. I think that could ease some load on Zach and make a really strong shut down pair with Denton that can be out there for more defensive situations.

because they can't negotiate an extension with him until this summer and there's no way they'd trade for him with the risk that he'd be a two-year rental. he's also gonna get super expensive on his next contract.

On Rasmus Andersson



Running up the prize? Maybe. Or maybe they keep him, who knows.

I don't see how a trade for Rasmus Andersson is anything but an off-season deal. It makes no sense for Calgary to trade him while they are in the playoff race. If they do end up trading him, the added possibility of extending him should increase the number of suitors.

See above regarding the timing of the deal.

Yes, he'd be expensive. But any high-impact upgrade to the defense is very likely to come with a high cap hit, unless they make an aforementioned sneaky good deal trading for a guy who breaks out after signing a long-term deal, is already on a very team-friendly deal or is unusually suited to specifically being Werenski's or Mateychuk's partner.

I don't think there's "no way" they trade for Rasmus Andersson. Unlikely? Yes. But not out of the question.

I think this is a different situation because of NJ's D depth being healthy but its starting to sound like Simon Nemec isn't completely thrilled with being buried in the AHL this season after getting a good bit of NHL time last year. Not sure if this could end up being like the Jiricek situation or not but NJ also has Seamus Casey so their D prospect pool is stacked. I wouldn't be opposed to trying to acquire him for the future here. It sounds like he's starting to play better in the AHL right now.
