2023/2024 Trade Rumors and Speculation Thread

[Niemo]

There should be room for Coronato, Pelletier, Duehr, and Ruzicka even if Backlund and Lindholm stay.

Huberdeau - Lindholm - Mangiapane
Dube - Kadri - Pelletier
Coleman - Backlund - Coronato
Duehr - Ruzicka - ???

That 4th line should be in line for 12 mins a night as long as it’s not a plug that slots in.

[Niemo]

I think Zary is 1 yr away from making it unless he’s made big strides this off-season.

You're forgetting a certain Yegor Sharangovich.

You're missing sharangovich, but yeah there's still 1 slot available

[CliffFletcher]

Not sure why we’re assuming Coronato makes the NHL roster out of camp. More likely he starts in the AHL.

[Royle9]

Lol I doubt he starts in the A, Conroy has been pretty adamant it’s his spot to lose.

I think it is more likely Coronato plays on a line with Jonathan Huberdeau than starting in the AHL

[Nelson]

I don’t ever remember Conroy saying any specific spot was any young player’s spot to lose, just that the team was going to get younger. I think the team will bring in someone like Domi so that there is competition.

[Toonage]

Dube-Kadri-Coronato

Book it.

Lack of other options especially if we do move some of the players that we need to move?

Do we have any top 6 level RW's? Not saying that he is but he is likely the best chance of anyone to be a top RW next season.

Even if both Lindholm and Backlund stay you are looking at playing guys out of position (mangiapane/dube) or above their level (Sharangovich/Coleman) just to fill one spot at RW in our top 6.

[Nelson]

Huberdeau - Lindholm - Sharangovich
Dube - Kadri - Coronato
Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman
Pelletier - Ruzicka - Duehr
- Rooney -

Hanifin - Andersson
Kylington - Tanev
Zadorov - Weegar
Oesterle -

Markstrom
Vladar

…That’s how I have things currently.

[Toonage]

Swap Rooney with Zary, move Ruzicka to the 13th forward, swap Vladar with Woif and yeah. As it stands now, I could see it.

I think 1/3 changes are plausible. I think Ruzicka will be a regular this year. I could see Wolf being the full time backup only if they move Vladar. However, I could see Zary beating out Rooney.

[PepsiFree]

Zary does not look ready for the NHL. At all. Would need a very good camp to get a shot.

[Toonage]

Had a very good camp last year. Not out of the question this year.

[CliffFletcher]

Less than a dozen prospects a year stick on an NHL roster without playing in the minors first. Coronato is a good prospect, but is he elite?

[PepsiFree]

Zary was not good enough to earn a spot, and after watching him in the AHL I think he’s going to need to come in that much better. He did not look good a lot of the time.

As things currently stand, I think there’s a clear path for him.

[Jiggy]

There is no point in rushing Coronato. Don't make the same mistake as the organization did with Benny.

Plus, playing 40 or so collage games is a lot different than a 82 NHL regular season schedule. Give him time in the AHL for half a year or a full year.
