I thought tree made it perfectly clear that he's not done because they're never done but now they don't have to make a move out of urgency. So now when we do see a move its a value for value trade. So I still think a guy like brodie or fro can go but itll be more like the kadri or zucker deals. Not fro for a pick or brodie for a pick.
I really think theyre going to try and make room for Bennett with Backs and chucky.

Or improving upon Jankowski, as Tree was doing with that Kadri trade.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Lucic - New Centre - Bennett
Mangiapane - Ryan - Rieder
Czarnik
or
Gaudreau - Monahan - Tkachuk
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Lucic - Lindholm - New winger
Mangiapane - Ryan - Rieder
Czarnik
I still just look back at the fact we were in on Ferland to some degree, almost acquired Zucker/Kadri as a pretty clear signal that Tree is after an upgrade to the top 9.
Or nothing happens, and we roll:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik/Bennett
Lucic - Ryan - Bennett/Frolik
Mangiapane - Jankowski - Rieder
Czarnik
(I’m assuming Rieder is getting a contract and Dube will be used as a call-up)
