we really don't have alot of forward depth in hartford...people want to move every vet not named zibanejad out but why? aside from Kratsov and Kakko what forward prospects need to be in the lineup?
Lets say Kakko & Kratsov make the team...then add Zibanejad, Kreider, Buchnevich, Strome, Namestnikov, Vesey, Chytil, Andersson, Howden, Lemieux, Fast and Nieves...thats 14 forward. we'll probably carry 13 forwards/8 dmen since we can't move smith or shattenkirk. so 1 guy from that list gets moved or nieves gets waived
if you move out more than that then you probably have to replace those guys with UFA signings anyway
