On his Bobcast, McKenzie mentioned that he thinks Spezza will be bought out.

Not sure center is as urgent of a need now given Strome's apparent emergence, but if we want Spezza as a safety net, sounds like he'll be available for just cash.

He’d make some sense, IMO. Good mentor for Strome. One or the other could play wing. Domi to RW I guess

Spezza has played RW in Dallas when not used at center. So you could keep Domi at LW.

Not sure if this lineup has enough offensive firepower but anyway:

Panik Stepan Keller
Domi Strome Spezza
Perlini Dvorak Fischer
Nook Richie Cousins

OEL Demers
Chychrun Hammer
Goligoski Dahlin

Raanta
Kuemper

LW depth
Panik
Domi
Perlini
Martinook
Crouse

How do we fit Crouse into the lineup next season? Put him on the RW to replace Rinaldo? Let Richardson sign elsewhere, play Martinook at 4C and Crouse at 4 LW? Trade a LW for a RW?
Trade Martinook for a depth RW

I like it. Especially the part where you snuck Dahlin in there. Haha. :)

Out of pure interest...

What moves (via trade or free agency) can you guys see GMJC making in the offseason that:

1) Involve players who (we think) are available
2) Are realistic (considering contracts and what we’d send back)
3) We would like:naughty:

I don't know why you'd want Spezza on a line with Strome. Put him with Perlini, in that hypothetical lineup. Let other teams figure out the matchups and hope one of those 2/3 lines can exploit it.

Is Jan Rutta really a UFA after a year in Chicago? I’ve been impressed by him. Maybe caught him on good nights but I wouldn’t mind picking him up. If we can re-sign KConn and pick up Rutta, I like our option on D.

They just extended him.
Nuts! I wonder if we can trade for a guy displaced by John Carlson once that sweepstakes is over. Maybe Zaitsev from Toronto or something. If they pay a truck load of money to Carlson, could they look to trade Zaitsev’s contract? Maybe not that exact scenario but one like it.
