Trading your top center for a 24 year old ()soon to be 25) backup goaltender? Hoo boy. That's a step backward. A throw in on a deal, maybe, but not as a pinciple.

Boston also has RW Fabian Lysell, C Matt Poitras, D Mason Lohrei, and C Brett Harrison. I've long been a fan of 6'3"C Johnny Beecher, who has struggled to put up offense thus far in the NCAA and AHL- but he's a fantastic skater, ultra-competitive, and rugged as hell. They just drafted C Beckett Hendrickson in the 2023 Draft, who I did a write-up on, and I rather like him too. The latter 2 players are American, though....

Nothing there that is of interest, especially of Lindholm is leaving. I see all of those names to be supporting players if they develop.

Then there's the usual LW Jake DeBrusk, and D Brandon Carlo that are both good. I would be over the moon if they were willing to part with C Pavel Zacha, or C Trent Frederic.

The key is getting a center back plus something else of significant value. Conroy has to make a good deal or this could set the organization back a good amount.
