We are basically missing a top 6 LW and a 3rd line winger if Comeau leaves but otherwise our lines are looking good.
Im a big fan of Kerfoot. He works hard, isn't afraid to get dirty and had a fantastic rookie season with 19 goals and 43 points. I would expect him to put up at least 50 this coming season and is only 23 years old.
I like Stastny but 16 goals and 37 assists for 53 points and at least a 4 year deal for 6 mil plus isn't worth it to me. Sure Stastny is a better defensive centerman and on faceoffs but I'd rather have a 10 years younger Kerfoot than spend on Stastny.
I'd rather us target a big left winger like:
James Neal
James Van Riemsdyk
Patrick Maroon
And if we don't re-sign Blake Comeau, Antoine Rousell would be my #1 target for the 3rd line. Hell, I think I'd prefer Rousell.
I also like Andrighetto but he shouldn't be on the top 6 IMO.
Sign:
James Neal (30) 3 years, 18 million
Antoine Rousell (27) 4 years, 12 million
Re-Sign
Jonathan Bernier (29) 1 year, 3 million
Landeskog - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Neal - Kerfoot - Jost
Nieto - Soderberg - Rousell
Wilson - Compher - Bourque
Andrighetto - Kamanev
That is a deep versatile group.
Zadorov-Barrie
Girard-Johnson
Nemeth - Barberio
Siemens
Again, there are much worse defensive groups than this. I really like the potential of our guys but the key will be Johnson and Barrie staying healthy.
Varlamov
Bernier
I see no reason why that wouldn't be a playoff team.
