I actually think we are in a great position. Unfortunately we stumbled not planned into it.
I expect most of the following gone by next trade deadline.
Anderson, sharangovich, kuzmenko, mang, markstrom, backs.
The team will probably be a tire fire next year multiple players may want out. Markstrom, mang, and one of kuzmenko, of Sharangovich seem like forgone conclusions. Coleman is a question mark, someone like ottawa, or nashville with multiple picks may offer a cant refuse package. Backs may want to chase a cup.
As much as i think tre screwed the team on purpose in an odd way it forced the teams hand. I think the start if next year will do the same for more. Losing multiple players over the last couple of years for nothing( dube) Hate a trade was apparently squashed by management which may have po’d our number one goaltender.
The good. Next two drafts look pretty good.
Stockpiling picks. Not something were used to round dese parts.
Getting picks in the future, we already have multiple picks in 26.
We already have some prospect capital. The nhl’ers i in see in our system are klapka, lipinski, Honzek, Coronnato, stromgren, suniev, and im just not sold on any of our defencemen with poirier being a question mark after injury and the two trade acquisitions.
Lots of wingers, maybe two defencemen, some interesting goaltenders and pretty much lipinski up the middle, but i dont see more than a bottom six center in him ( don’t get me wrong you need these guys)
Adding three four centers would make this look a lot better.
If you can nab one of yak, Dickinson, Buium, then grab cole bedouin who has nhl center written all over him with the lower first would go a long way to addressing our needs.
If we could snag another ten to twenty pick and grab one of the defenders, hage and Bedouin this draft looks like a steal never mind what we get in the other rounds.
