If everyone works out it will be a roster like peak Nashville/St Louis- built from the back outwards

But with hopefully a bit more star-power on the wings. Would be dissapointed if Kakko and Lafreniere will not be better then Forsberg. NAshville/St. Louis succes gives me hope thtat a 1b centre will be enough. Sure a bonafide 1C would be cool, but might be a luxery we can not afford.

I think Chytil has 1C potential.

No he isn't. Statboy Steven and @Amazing Kreiderman are the same person, can't fool me any longer. No Batman/Bruce Wayne "crusade" here.
Vally gives "only one" of them much due credit. Would be cool if Vally someday gave a shout out to his "better half" with HF.

He's always been the same guy. I just never took him seriously until I saw his podcast because I usually disagree with his scouting takes but he has good statistical opinions backed by numbers.

And all of STL and NSH Cs were acquired through trades. In a flat cap world, more names will come available. We just need to ensure we have the assets and cap to go after them (as opposed to putting them all in the Eichel basket).

I think Tampa/Nashville hybrid. We should be playing Tampa style hockey though.

We are our own creature.

Jones is more a Brady Skjei than an Adam Fox to be honest. I don't think Jones is as defensively responsible as Fox and Lundkvist, but still an exciting prospect. Definitely will be fun to see him battle it out with Robertson

I agree he is not on that level and probably won’t be but maybe a Fox lite lite

I think that at this point, there's no more denying Lundkvist's offensive acumen.

I've always had doubts about how well it would translate, but they've faded. He probably isn't going to be a dominant offensive guy, but I bet that he would be an immediate improvement over Trouba or Miller on PP2.

Points or not, he reeks of Fox-lite. If he can psychically emasculate forecheckers in the same way, we're going to have a d-corp that gets brought up in therapy sessions for years.

The last thing I am worried about is Lundkvist's physicality. He has shown at all levels that he doesn't shy away from the physical side of the game. SHL, World Juniors, men's national team games, every level he has shown that edge.

I said "psychically" emasculate haha

If he can think the game nearly as well as Fox and make consistent smart plays is what I meant!
