Aside from the usuals mentioned all the time, Bouchard and Puljujarvi are two I would sell high'ish on.
Just can't trust Bouchard in crucial times defensively and we got Barrie signed for a bit longer.
Zero chance we give up on bouchard. He'll likely be on our #1 PP next year and putting up 50+ points. We'll try and move on from Barrie. I think this is blatantly obvious. Bouchard is only 22, he is going to get better, likely a lot better, in the next few years here. He is also cost controlled for next year, which buys us a bridge year until the ridiculous Keith contract is off the books.
Ideally Keith would retire, as you could just replace him with Broberg and likely not have much of a difference at all. Or better yet with kulak. But Keith isn't going to retire. I think the best we could hope for is that Keith starts having "back issues" this off-season and we can LTIR his last year, but I think even that is unlikely. We are stuck with Holland's mistake for another year.
