What's someone going to give you for Pelletier? Not a lot, without at least a 2nd attached, and probably a 1st. Same with Gawdin. Passed that, we have Valimaki/Kylington, and nobody wants to trade them.

I really expect a big 2nd half from Kylington. He was spectacular in the Montreal game, and he's been showing flashes of breaking out since the year began, and if/when Brodie/Hamonic depart, we'll need him.

Gio-Andersson
Hanifin-Kylington
Valimaki-X

Move some of the money from the back end into another forward.

The more I look at a future without Brodie/Hamonic, the more I'm thinking we go 4/4/1 in expansion, leaving Gio exposed. It's really the only way to protect all our young D.

Lindholm
Monahan
Tkachuk
Gaudreau/Gaudreau replacement/Backlund

Hanifin
Andersson
Kylington
Valimaki

BSD

We don't have 7 forwards worth protecting.
I would be fine with the setup you have unless Dube/Mangiapane take big steps forward.

Otherwise you are correct we lack forwards worth protecting. Its comedic that we only have 4 legit forwards worth protecting yet everyone is so willing to trade one of them right now instead of seeing the bigger issues at play here.
