Off-Season Wishlist [April]

1. Explore trade options for Andersson sooner than later, ideally he gets moved at the 2025 draft. Conroy looks for a pure future's deal and adds picks in the 25 and/or 26 draft.

2. Don't sign any long-term Free Agents this summer, only 1-year deals like the Mantha signing last year.

3. Offer a high salary 1-year deal to Gavrikov (LD, LH Shot, 29 Years Old, 6'3, 220lb) to pair with Parekh or Bru next year. Flip at next year's deadline with 50% retention. I'm sure some team will offer him more term, but Flames can offer him a lot of money for one year which some Russians seem to prefer. This one feels like a bit of a pipe dream, I'm sure LA would love to keep him.

4. Explore the market to see if anyone would trade for Bean or Miromanov. Try to offload them and replace with one of Kuznetsov/Solovyov/Grushnikov depending on training camp. I think Bru has had a fantastic first AHL season but could use another year personally, but who know how training camp goes.

5. Explore the market for Coleman and get a temperature check from his camp to see if he's open to moving on, as he isn't getting any younger and this team is still years away from contending. Possibly move him at next year's deadline if there's value there. Great soldier but this team needs all the picks we can get in all rounds of the draft now that we have Wolf and we aren't gonna be picking top-10 barring something very unexpected IMO.

6. Leave spots open in training camp for the kids pushing through.
