Yzerplan

[Fil Larkmanthanasiou]

It's taking longer than most would like and there have been some mind-boggling moves (Walman, Holl) but I think the future is looking bright. None of the vets he signed to make this team more competitive have long term contract and most expire after the next 2 seasons freeing up a lot space for moves. The core (Seider, Raymond and Larkin are signed to team friendly deals with Seider and Raymond providing some of the best bang for the buck contracts in the league).
The biggest weakness for the team is top 6 Center. Larkin is only an average 1C and Compher and Copp are borderline top 6 players (if that). We have 4 prospects at Center who may become an uprade to a Compher lever player. Kasper, Daniel son, Lombardi and Plante. Kasper is showing signs that he may be there already although probably not ready to be a top 6 C yet. It is possible that none become as good a center as Comper but I think it's more likely that at least one of them will be.

Yzerplan is going just fine. Poised to have top 3 d core in the league and possibly the best goalie tandem. Lots of pieces and picks can be moved to fill the 1c or 2c position when needed. Wings look poised to be great for the future as well with Raymond, (debrincat), buchelnikov, mbn, Mazur

There's also free agency.

The impatient ones did not realize how long it takes to build through the draft when you get shafted every year and can't draft Bedard or celibrini

Yes, Daniel son.

Tough to complain much since the Todd Father has been brought in. Lots of things working well and fun to watch. We haven't made the playoff yet and this team is legitimately a set back away from being out of the race.

I'm going to enjoy the wins hopefully till a playoff spot is clinched then I'll circle back to this thread and crown the rebuild over.

we already had our major setback. Didn't you see? Petry is out 6-8 weeks. They'll just have to figure their way through it
