With the season starting next week, that's obviously been the attention-grabbing headline, as it should be. I myself, however, have been thinking about the team going in to next season and what the roster could look like. Players coming off the books:
On D, Koekkoek wouldn't return based on prospects pushing up. Barrie, I would sign-up ahead of Larsson based on two-way ability and I think he'd be perfect to mentor Bouchard. Speaking of Larsson, I would attempt to sign-and-trade him, maybe recoup a 2nd for this years draft (I'm hoping a 1st from a contender). Russell should either be gone in the expansion draft or traded in the summer; can't see him returning despite signing an extension.
Klefbom is the big fish we need to decide on. I love the dude, but if we can package him in a trade to land, say Seth Jones, or another top forward (winger for McDavid?) you gotta look at that, or the very least consider an offer sheet on young d-men coming off their ELC's and taking a look at RFA dmen in the summer, here's a few of who we get:
What would you guys do going forward?
- Nuge - UFA
- Chiasson - UFA
- Ennis - UFA
- Haas - UFA
- Nygard - UFA
- Kahun - RFA
- Khaira - RFA
- Larsson - UFA
- Barrie - UFA
- Koekkoek - UFA
- Smith - UFA
