Long-term I see Wennberg being an OK 2nd liner or a very good 3rd liner. I see Domi being a good 2nd liner.
I see Kuz being a good 1st liner.
Ultimatley that's what this is about for me - upgrading the high end part of my team through these two deals today, while not having to do so via aging vets.
In:
Kuz
OEL
Granlund
Oout:
Seguin
Domi
Wennberg
Daley
2nd
Sorensen
So basically comes down to a quantity for quality play to bring in 2 elite young pieces (OEL and Kuz) while only giving up 1 (Seguin).
I'm fairly confident in what Domi will end up being. I do worry that I'm wrong about Wennberg. His assist totals went way up when Johansen moved last season and he was put on the first line - and he has real good chemistry with Saad. So I feel he is the guy that could take the leap next season. But I also feel like Granlund could do the same.
Fun day of trading.
