What is next year's team looking like? For me, there are some obvious choices:
Walk:
Beauvillier
Carrier
Sherwood
Barrie
Re-sign:
Zucker
Lankinen
Trade:
Saros -> 10th OA
Head into next year:
Forsberg - O'Reilly - Evangelista
Zucker - Parssinen - Nyquist
L'Heureux - Sissons - UFA
Smith - Novak - Afanasyev
McCarron
Still not great but at least inject some youth in there and see what happens. We now know what happens with Sherwood and company and it ain't much.
Josi - Pesce/X
McDonagh - Fabbro
Statsney - Schenn/Lauzon
Schenn/Lauzon
Molendyk has an outside shot of making the team but given how Trotz has talked about over-cooking the prospects, I have a hard time seeing it, though.
Lankinen
Askarov
Bold choice to go here but I think it's time to make this move. Lankinen's at least an 1B option and Askarov could hold his own as the back-up. I think we've seen where this Saros express takes us and it's not to the Cup.
