Your (Projected) '17-'18 Lineup

[McTedi]

2Cs are more valuable than 1RWs. Best interest of the team to find McDavid a new dance partner and play Drai in the more valuable role.

I get what you're saying, I mean it works to perfection with Crosby and Malkin. I just think that McD and Drai have such great chemistry, it would be a shame to break it up. But point taken.

Wow. Hamonic, Barrie, Vatanen, Jenner for ... Eberle and Nurse it looks like? And we convinced Oshie's American born wife named Lauren to move to Edmonton. Eat your heart out Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors.

 

[Juxta Position]

Maroon-McDavid-Caggiula

Slepyshev-Bonino-Puljujarvi

I'd be good with that.

IMHO Nuge is on this team for several more years.
GO ask the Habs what the market is for top 2 Centers (Not a single one available for good reason).
Notice how not a single 2C was exposed to Vegas?


IMHO Nuge will be a pivotal part of any longterm success this team has.

Nuge is that you?
