Duchene probably re-signs with the Stars and Tavares with the Maple Leafs. Bennett probably wants to be a top 6 center and he gets more money elsewhere. Nelson, same thing (he also seems to be washed-up). Suter is good but slow.
Kuzmenjo is nice offensive player with very good hands but he is slow with no defense. May be its a right addition for less money to make our offensive depth better if money are not big. But im not so sure about him.
It’s going to be tough to fit in some of these guys with the cap.
My3sons (probably): “We have a third line center. We need a second line center.”
I’ve seen you mention Mantha a couple of times, but he hasn’t played since the first week of November. I had to look it up because I haven’t heard his name since early in the year. I actually forgot what team he played for. I was thinking Utah, but it was Calgary. He only played 13 games before getting injured for the rest of the year and never returning.
I believe with Luke, Nico deals on the horizon(and Quinns deal) Fitz should think twice about new contracts he will sign from the market. Bennet will sign for more than he is impacting. Ehlers? I believe he will be a good addition but I dont know what he is waiting from the market - something like Fiala had or something more. He isnt that young really. On the other hand he is very good offensive driver even for your "second" wave.
