Look, one of Kadri or Nylander is moved... most likely Kadri, it's just a question of when now.
Rielly - Traded player
Muzzin - Ceci
Rosen - Dermott
A year from now Muzzin, Ceci and Dermott are due for new contracts.
Here are the scenarios.
Muzzin is extended, I have no question about that.
One of Dermott, or Ceci performs very well, and is extended. But not both. If I had to place odds on that right now, I'd suggest Dermott is the one kept, and we free up $4.5 from Ceci who is let go.
Sandin and Liljegren are on the roster come October 2020.
Rielly - Traded player
Muzzin - Dermott/Ceci
Sandin Liljegren.
The cost for this D, will be no more, or not signficantly higher than what we would have this year. Plus, we've got a ton more depth coming on the right side.... This isn't a panic situation.
We are one trade away from having a respectable D now, and once that's done, the future will look pretty good too.
