Got Rask too. Might want to put Steen up as a top 6 forward. Maybe Jay Harrison could be a good fit in the bottom pairing?
Don't forget about Stralman, who might be a decent 2nd pairing guy, an awesome 3rd pairing guy. Or Jimmy Hayes who is monster in front of the net, and has 13 goals and 20 points on the season. I think we shouldn't kept Beauchemin, he was a good leader, and really should've been our Captain... he's the image we want our youth to be around. Same with Komarov. Santorelli. Etc etc.
Say our GM's sat on their hands, this is kinda what the team could look like, nitpicking deals that worked/didn't work. It's not like it was difficult to nitpick though, trading a 1st round pick, when your team is a basement dweller, is an incredible risky play:
Steen deal was absurd. This entire board was in disbelief, for the most part.
Rask deal was absurd, this entire board was in disbelief, for the most part.
Both the Phaneuf deal and JVR deals made sense, as we didn't give up any picks or valuable youth. The JVR deal was much like our Steen deal, where we were in disbelief that we got JVR for just Schenn.
JVR Seguin Steen
Kadri Nylander Komarov
Santorelli Bozak Hayes
Winnik ----- -----k deal was absurd, this entire board was in disbelief, for the most part.
Rielly Beauchemin
Stralman Franson
Robidas Hamilton/Percy/Holzer
Bernier/Reimer
Above is again a nitpicked lineup (totally unfair on my part). Not incredible, but definitely better than what we have. If Nylander pans out, and Rielly than we could've been a very dangerous team.
