I actually don’t see a fit for Laine on this team without Gaudreau... who is going to set Laine up? Monahan? Backlund? Tkachuk is really the only forward that is a high end play maker.

Monahan, Tkachuk and lindholm are all excellent puck distributors. Monahan in particular was actually more of a playmaker before the NHL. I think that his game would evolve in this scenario.
Could likely be just talk but Markstrom was quoted as Calgary has been a team he has always been interested in and was super happy when they presented him a long term offer
I think it’s because every time we play them we kick their ass. You get tired being on the wrong side of a rivalry.
Bennett's not a bad passer either (runs for cover)
I have always thought Benny had great vision when given the opportunity to play with elite players; this goal has always had me wonder why he hasn’t been given a long look with a guy like Johnny or just time in the top 6 in general.

Monahan rarely misses his passes. They just aren’t as fancy. They are common sense, quick passes.

Wow Bennett for Kerfoot would be a maddening trade; not sure about the Gaudreau/Ekblad swap but it would definitely push Tanev to the third pairing and solidify the D no matter what though it will be super tough to see Johnny go if he is traded. I think Johnny still has growth.
