To me it’s dominos, Treliving has a lot to consider now, I think he’s definitely in on Kadri but he needs to be careful and think about next year too especially if he’s seeing Huby and Weegs as long term parts of the core. RFA’s are first things first, he’s gotta get Mang and Kylington figured out and see where he’s at from there. I think that’s when you could see Lucic moved and I still look at the ducks as a prime suitor because of their cap space and their youthful lineup. Lucic would be a welcomed policeman for Zegras, Drysdale and the like and with Pat suggesting a sweetener wouldn’t be required it’s an exciting proposition. I think we still see some movement on this roster for sure, though Kadri is an older player and we’ve already been twice bitten with Brouwer and Neal I think he’s simply a different and better player in a prime position. I haven’t always liked Kadri’s decision making, he’s a dirty player many plays over, but if the flames window is the next 3-4 years he’s a piece that brings a lot to the table and has a little more to give yet. Slowly I’m coming around more and more to the thought of Kadri and feel it could really diversify the lineup and scoring potential throughout, especially because Sutter is all about pairs.
Huberdeau - Kadri - Coleman/Toffoli
Mangiapane - Lindholm - Coleman/Toffoli
Pelletier - Backlund - Dube
Rooney - Ruzicka - Lewis
Phillips
Monahan?? Just not sure how he’s doing yet, two hip surgeries is a massive set back at any point in a career. I’m pulling for Mony!
That’s a pretty fun lineup
