Maybe? But this lineup is both frustrating because it will lack good development play time for our young players and is unlikely to win anything. We should be looking at packaging Zary with someone like Coleman to see if that can land us a center upgrade. Or Farabee and Coleman, but depressed value makes that less likely. Sharangovich should also be out the door.
A line up like this has tons of risk as well. You are saying Sharangovich can go, I'm thinking he will be a bounce back guy and his goal scoring is very needed with the players and prospects we have. Coronato is the only other sniper.

I'm not suggesting I'm right and you are wrong, that really does not matter. The question is, will Conroy when he evaluates players and picks players to move get full value if they struggle with low ice time and over time will he pick the right players.

Chemistry, slow starts, injuries leading to a 4th line role can lead to 1 player looking like they are odd man out and over time they end up being the better player.

We can all sit on CP and say maximize asset return and be patient. GM has to make decision, and Conroy knows what the offers are now vs what he ends up with. I think some players values are going to go down and GMs often trade those players.

IMO, we have no forwards that are irreplaceable. Some keepers for sure, but I trust the scouts to keep adding so pick someone and let others get a real chance.
