Well the hope was something was going to happen in Florida (like Bobrov continuing his decent in hell) and Florida would have been bottom 10 this year or next. I think that ship has sailed a long time ago.
They have 4 UFA to sign. Reinhart, Montour, Forsling et OEL. All other UFA are irrelevant and can be replaced by similar contract players.
They will have around 16 millions to resign those players. If they are intelligent they'll just let Reinhart go. They can replace him on the UFA market by a 4-5 millions player and they have Lundell ready to take more TOI. I like Lundell a lot kids have a high ceiling and will be 22.
That leaves around 11 millions to sign 3 dmen. I'd let Montour go personally and would try to secure OEL and Forsling that should let enough money to find a reliable guy to complete the defense.
Unless Bobrov goes MIA next season they are not in trouble.
yeah, I have learned my lesson last season... hoping for Florida to fail and finish bottom 10 is a fools game..
so I guess the only hope for a decent pick in this trade is to root for Calgary to not suck too much and finish 11th next year.
really, all the trade proposals should be made with Florida 1rd 25 and not Calgary as that is the like 90% range of happening... oh well we can dream I guess lol
