Aye, but with how bad we've been I have to look at the best case scenario or I'll go crazy knowing we still have Brunette on board.
For now. Who knows what’s going to happen during the off season. All of those players mentioned fit what Brunette’s wanting to do better than some of the players currently on the roster. Not saying that what Brunette wants to do should be considered good hockey but at least those players would be more successful in that type of run and gun stretch it out offense.
Well there is Misa, Frondell as consolation after we miss Hagens. Still not a terrible scenerio. Maybe grab Mrtka, Fiddler, and/or Boumedienne with our later 1sts. Grab a goalie and a LW in the 2nd and go best available from there.
I think Schaefer is the BPA after Hagens, would suck to finally suck enough to get a top pick and get a defenseman again, but that is our bread and butter and our current defense sucks so bad.
I really would be pissed if we got a dman. I know our current d sucks but unless we take a swing at getting a 1C through trade then we have to draft one when given the opportunity. Make a trade to move back if possible and get a C
I believe Hagens should, the others COULD, but might need another year.

Look at Cozens and his regression and his bloated contract. You also have Svechkov and Surin in the pipeline. Not sure he's worth giving up the pieces for considering we have some talent coming in soon. Svechkov was improving until he got press boxed by the coach so he could continue to play McC and Smith.
Also got
Norringer - nilsson -Surin
Stiga - edstrom - gojsic
Im assuming 1 or more of our c prospects would need to move to wing at some point

For the WJC did we end up with:
Edstrom / Nilsson / Gustafsson - Sweden
Molendyk / Gibson - Canada
Willis / Stiga - USA
Milota - Czech
?
Even with Wood being surprisingly cut, that'd be 8 guys?

Obviously you hope this pisses Wood off and motivates him
Im more suprised in Willis' inclusion than Wood being cut. Havent really paid much attention to Willis.
Milota hasnt exactly put up great stats either.
He is a good 2 way dman. Top 10 in point production for KHL defensemen. Absolutely zero clue is he will ever come to the US. He is in year 2 of a 3 year KHL contract.

Losing brings us all together.
That and nobody seems to want to read 1000-word essays... this I know from personal experience.
Honestly, I would put him right behind Molendyk on D. The good news would be, if he does come over, he should be ready for top 4 minutes after a quick adjustment. He's not huge, but pretty physical with some good scoring touch. He's got a few highlight reels out of the KHL where he destroys some guys with open ice hits. No idea if we ever actually see him though.

I bet he could play for us today and we'd love him.
But... he won't take AHL money. So..... in the end we'll never see him, because our vaunted braintrust won't ever accept that he can't play in the AHL. Great pick by our scouts. But in the end we still don't benefit.
