He's 6'4 and has 42g and 50a in 65gp so far. Does he really need another year in the kid's league? He's AHL eligible. Why not send him there?

In those prospect clips, Sullivan mentioned that he'd like MacInnis to work on:
1) add more bulk to that frame
2) further refine his defensive game

Not sure where to put this so I am putting this here:
"Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Max Domi, Sam Reinhart, Ryan Murray and goalie Calvin Pickard also among the first 18 players named to Team Canada for IIHF Worlds."

Some end of season notes:
- Boyd Gordon had been playing with a broken thumb since Feb. 4
- Joe Vitale's status has seen no improvement
- Murphy (USA), Domi (Canada), Rieder (Germany) will play in the World Championships
- OEL may have been playing with a bruised shoulder

Well we know he's getting a contract.
Hopefully!!
Didn't he score both his goals after that???
Yes and I don't think he was below 50% in FO won after that either

So if analytics is the new M.O. then who would be our top D UFA targets? I'm not familiar with a lot of the new stats or I'd make those judgements my own. What about potential trade targets?

I'd love to see the insight of some of the other posters on this topic. I haven't stopped thinking about it
The big FA prize this year, aside from Yandle, is Demers. Goligoski is nice too but I bet he stays with Dallas. Trade targets would probably start with Barrie, Trouba, Dumba, and Brodin. There's also the Ducks trio + prospects.
Teams could get really antsy about RFAs and trade them, or everybody just chills out and signs. It's hard to predict. If you're going to trade the farm, you may as well do it for Barrie.
Not getting Yandle would make for a rough left side.
From what I know of analytics, they may not be as beneficial for non-offensive Defensemen.
If we go UFA and Tipp now has more of a say, I'm guessing Grossmann will be the first signed/extended.
Yandle might be at the top of the list, but I'm thinking he won't be interested in returning (not to mention his defensive lapses which Tipp will want to avoid)
Campbell will probably begin the next tier (depending on his asking price), along with Goligoski and/or Demers. [additional scenario, we sign both Goligoski and Demers]
From there, I could see Quincey, Liles, or Bartkowski getting a look.
I'm guessing Polak won't be approached after Tipp's interaction with him at that last game.
I could see ownership/management/coach trade the #7 and Duclair (and possibly more) for Hamilton since the new GM may not have enough time to "properly" evaluate prospects (especially if our scouts leave--which I'm hoping they do).
With a Tipp-influenced tinge to offseason, pretty much any late 20s/early 30s Defensive vet from a defensive-minded team will be pursued since prospects won't be as important in the second new "win-first" era. I could see Muzzin, Martinez, McQuaid, Engelland, A. Larsson, Methot (if willing), Del Zotto, Braun, Dillon, Carlson, or Alzner being of interest [note - not all are necessarily defensive d-men]
One thing I'm not worried about now is the acquisition of new D-men, but I'm guessing our D-lines will look something like OEL - Murphy / Grossmann - new guy 1 / new guy 2 - Michalek / Dahlbeck as #7
I doubt Grossmann is re-signed. Tippett hardly played him down the stretch. One of the main reasons why Gross was brought in this year was to show the ropes to a guy like Dahlbeck. He's done what he can.
Why would you want to replace the scouts? They're largely responsible for selecting what many feel is the NHL's best collection of prospects.
Also don't see Calgary flipping Hamilton only a year after acquiring him.

Trouba is this year's Hamilton. If our pick is 7th or 8th, that's probably where the offer starts.

Sometimes we tend to overvalue other players. Take Hamilton. He was in a great situation in Boston with the talent around him. Put him on Calgary and you get banana pancakes. I'm concerned that Trouba looks good because of the D line talent with which Winnipeg has surrounded him. I'd give up the Rangers pick plus, but not our pick. One thing that's not certain in our prospects is that we have a primo power forward. We need a primo power forward to go with the speedsters.
Both Trouba and Hamilton are still developing. Obviously not playing with Chara was going to be a big change for Hamilton. I don't believe he played with Gio or Brodie much either, which leaves his pairing with Wideman (I believe). Not the best situation. I'd say Hamilton has a better chance excelling with OEL ala Murphy. I feel the same way about Trouba. Either of these young guys should be foaming at the mouth to play with OEL too because he is bound to increase their value and analytics.
Myers intrigues me too. Could be less expensive to get. Ducks will have to move someone as well. Lots of options for a trade, then go heavy for Demers/Yandle
