Mye well im bored.
Heres what id do at the TDL.
Move Silf for a 1st.
And at the summer, move Fowler to Detroit for AA or Mantha and some pick of some sort.
Sign a cheap #5 dman (Jordie Benn)? Lol
Next season
Raks-Getz-Kase
Ritchie-Rico-Sprong
Mantha/AA-Steel-Perry
Jones/Comtois-Rowney-Terry
Grant 13th Forward
Kesler and Eaves LTIR (I hope)
Lindholm-Montour
Larsson/Mahura-Manson
Benn-Dotchin
Gibson
Miller/Boyle/Igor Bobkov/Timo Pielmier/Dan Ellis/Shtalenkov/
Adds a bit of cal relief aswell.
Eakins HC
Im going to assume we get hughes or dach/Turcotte, also going to assume we don't move fowler for AA/Mantha and instead move fowler for a lesser dmen + pick(lets say Timmins + colorados 1st top 10 protected for fowler). Timmins is a RHD, plays with a big of edge to his game, 2way guy who battles hard in front of net/along boards. He had an injury last season which hurt his development, but I think hed be a great add for us if were going a semi get young/fast route.
Rakell- Getz - Terry
Ritchie- Hughes - Kase (if not hughes then Steel, and let dach/Turcotte/newhook or whoever continue to develop)
Comtois- Henrique- Sprong
Jones - Rowney/Grant- Perry
Lindholm - Montour
Mahura - Manson
Larsson - Timmins
Gibson,
back up doesn't really matter too much, but id hope miller has another year in him.
Top line: lot of creative players, hopefully having terry and getzlaf controlling the puck allows rakell to become the goal scorer he was previous 2 years.
2nd line: Ritchie/kase have shown chemistry together, Ritchie can protect whichever young center we have rolling between them. Ritchie and kase work well along the boards and winning puck battles... I think its the perfect line for a young center to come up with.
3rd line- comtois can be a menace on the forecheck, Henrique is another guy that finds the puck, and sprong just got to keep doing what he is doing.
4th line- basically an energy line, but I think perry and jones will give it a little offensive jolt.
Also not super opposed to trading Henrique if the value is there... I still think kossila is a nhl player and deserves more of a shot at the nhl.
