If Sorokin was half as good as he was last season we’d be in third. If Dobson wasn’t playing 30 mins a game for half the season he doesn’t fall apart during the final stretch (2 assists, -12 over the last 10 games) and we’re in a wild card spot.If this team only had a half decent PK and a decent PP, they'd be well inside the playoff by now. That is actually quite crazy to think about. With little wriggle room in the summer, I'd focus on upgrading the PK first. Let Martin and Clutterbuck walk, and replace them with some real PKers. In terms of cash it should be a wash.
Then I'd look to get rid of Lee, Pageau and Palmieri, if possible. Also Pulock if some team is willing to take on that contract. It would mean a similar contract coming back but maybe look for someone who can give us something different.
Any sort of bounce back from Mayfield and Sorokin should have us back in the playoff picture next year. If they don’t though, we’re f***ed forever.
