Lindy to CBJ makes a ton of sense and Sillinger would be a great target. Backs I would hang onto until the trade deadline to flip because you’re more likely to get a bigger return for him at that time than you will at the draft and he still helps the team immensely with his 200 foot prowess.
Players I’d deal at the draft
Lindholm
Tanev
Players I’d wait and see until TDL
Backlund
Toffoli
Hanifin
Players I’d extend now
Zadorov
Stecher
Dube
Without going to far into speculation on the returns of Lindy and Tanev outside of Sillinger, the roster would look something like this heading into the start of the season:
Huberdeau - Kadri - Toffoli
Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman
Pelletier - Dube - Coronato
Zary - Sillinger - Duehr
Hanifin - Andersson
Zadorov - Weegar
Kylington - Stecher
Gilbert - Stone
Marky
Vlad
Wolf
*If you can find a taker for Markstrom without taking on a terrible contract I’d definitely consider that but one of Vlad or Marky need to be gone no later than Christmas to open the door for Wolf to take the next step.
