Well we know Buchnevich is/was on Edmonton's radar. Nothing to suggest that's changed as they still need scoring depth. The only thing in that equation that's changed is the subtraction of a shot at Trevor Zegras.

Calgary supposedly wants a RH forward. Wonder if they could be a low-key player for Strome or Fast. I wonder if Hanafin could be a guy that might become available.

Man , our inability to get any production outside of our top 6 is a problem. They've been playing okay but when was the last time any of Kakko, Chytil, or Lemieux scored or even gotten a point? How many goals has our 4th line created this season? 2?
4th line is the ultimate problem. A good 4th line could practically be a 3B. It helps with matchups. We barely have an AHL 4th line.

In fairness, Strome’s career year will be higher than Kreider’s. And it will be by a substantial amount by the time this season is complete more than likely. Strome can also play center or wing as needed.

Not saying I’d sign Stroke for 7 years but if the options are:

Kreider for 7 years at $7m
Or
Strome for 4 years at $5m

I’m going Strome due to cap hit, versatility, age and contract length.
I do neither. I hate the thought of trading Kreider but that contract is just too rich. And with a year of control left on Strome, I’d probably favor a 2-3 year deal or a one year arb award. Let him prove this year wasn’t a fluke.

yeah the 4th line is an abomination but our 3rd line cannot put points on the board. Lots of nice plays but we really need them to contribute. All our offense comes from Panarin, Zib, and Kreider, with the occasional contribution from Buch, Fast, and Strome. Thats it for the forwards. Real teams get depth scoring. I know they're young but come on boys get it together.

Im happy with Chytil and Kakko. Chytil especially. And so far, Kakko looks a little better since returning from the break. Let’s see how they finish the season. Cant have high expectations that include a ton of production. I just need to see them improve and their natural talents taking over, being more confident.

Idk if they’re gonna want Hanafin after this game. :laugh:

What happened there? I remember Hanafin had a ton of hype.
