The NYR take a big hit on the Shattenkirk buy-out next season and have a big hole at #2 centre. In a piece of magic, Treliving pulls a trade of Backlund and Kylington for Kravstov, Lias Andersson and taking on one year of Brenden Smith. (yes, I understand that Backlund has trade protection for one more year)
My Hot Take is that the Calgary centre position looks like this under a new coach :
Monahan
Dube
Bennett
Ryan
: and they stay in those spots for the entire year. And are more stable and productive than the centre core was this year.
