As happy as I am with wolf performance, not sure he will duplicate this season, next year.
Worried about teams that finished worst in the standing, see them leap frigging Calgary in a year or two, Anaheim, San Jose, maybe Chicago if they can get Bedard going and sign key free agents.
Team just seems to be dying a slow death to the bottom of the standing.
Trade Andersson, Coleman, team has enough vets.
Conroy has to get creative in trading up in the draft for a centre, even if he projects as a 2nd line center, this team desperately needs better centre depth, it's a huge void
The team is getting too many mushy middle forwards, on 5 -6 million dollar deals, time to thin out via trade and promote youngsters from the farm.
Zary and coronato should be bridged dealed, let the kids prove it more, the team has lots of cap space, no need to commit that much to team that can't make the playoffs, or is trending do own IMO
This team is not even close to a finished product, keep on drafting and as high as possible
Stay very far away from free agency, a 4-5 million dollar defenceman on a 3-4 year deal to replace Andersson, but that should be it
I would sign wolf to a 8 year deal, not sure what that number looks like 8 to 10 million?
