Add Balcers, Norris, Formenton, Batherson, Abramov, Wolanin, Lajoie, JBD, Thomson, Jaros to that group and we should have something good.
Not to mention 2 first rounders this draft

Plus Davidsson & Veronneau, both guys who have shown some ability in NHL stints

And Tychonick, Pinto, Gruden, Alsing, Crookshank, Novak and Wilkie on the way

Most of those guys wont be NHLers but some will

Forgot about Pinto and Davidsson
Not as sure about the others although they have potential.
Then we’d be looking at something like,

Paul L.Brown Batherson

Tkachuk Norris Abramov

Formenton Pageau White

Balcers Pinto Davidsson


Chabot DeMelo

Thomson JBD

Zaitsev Brannstrom

Plus two first rounders that will likely replace the weak links here.

Ok back to 2019/2020

Post 2020 deadline top 6:

Tkachuk - Brown - Batherson
Balcers - White - Duclair

If we don't trade Tierney:
Paul - Pageau - C. Brown
Chlapik/Formenton - Tierney - Abramov/Davidsson/Verronneau

If we do trade Tierney:
Chlapik- Pageau - C. Brown
Formenton - Paul - Abramov/Davidsson

I personally think a 4th line with Formenton + Tierney could be really, really awesome - Formenton is the perfect player for Tierney to play with, because Tierney's game is based around smarts and I think he could feed into Formentons speed really well. That said, we are running out of space and if we can get a good asset for Tierney, that's definitely something we should look at.

Some answers Brown back with Chucky and Duke
White down with Nasti and Pnis
Chabot and Zaitsev are still a thing

Nilsson back in

Man, would love Ennis to be replaced by somebody like Batherson or maybe Norris. I hope we can find a way to move one or more of Ennis, Anisimov, Boedker or Ryan, because we don't have enough roster spots to not include them in the lineups unless we send them to belleville or trade them.

Wouldn't mind seeing what Chlapik could do on that 3rd line with White/Nasty. Not particularly fair to saddle Tierney with Ennis/Ryan, but I'd rather see what we have in FC.

Chlapik getting better linemates. Me likey.

Ryan hasn't had a good year, but the skill is still there, if he's on our fourth line with Tierney and Chlapik, that's ok, so long as you don't expect a grinding heavy forcheck...

Most expensive 4th line in the NHL? The line up however is representative of how those players have played so it is a pretty fair set up.

I continue to be PO’d that this GM decided to trade for Anisimov and Boedker and then also sign Ennis. We need a new GM.

One of those 3 is not like the others, at all.

Anisimov was trade for a dud in Zack Smith. Im ok with that.

Ennis was signed for 900k. Hes not a good player but he's been an ok stopgap player. Would it of been nice to get a better UFA? Yes, but chances are not a whole lot of UFAs were wanting to come here. He's been fine for his role in a tank year.

Boedker; flame away my friend. More or less traded straight up for a pretty consistent 30 goal scorer. Dorion was absolutely swindled and should feel a lot of heat for this one.

My Top 5 list for prospects (Forwards) is as following

1. Batherson
2. Davidsson
3. Norris
4. Abramov
5. Formenton

I believe Batherson, Davidsson and Abramov, all have strong potential to be legit top 6 in the NHL. Norris and Formenton are a safe bet to make it to the NHL even as good 3rd liners, if not 2nd liners

I think Davidsson is ready for full time NHL 4th lime duty. He has NHL speed, he is a smart player and plays with loads of energy. I think he only got sent back due to the roster number situation with Anisimov and Boedker not playing and Brown coming back from injury.

I think a trade or move needs to be made to free up some deadweight, the situation with the three guys taking up spots from more deserving young players needs to be rectified soon.

Ryan has to be put back in the pressbox.. He is taking up a spot from forwards like Davidsson and Beaudin ... that can be playing at the NHL level and provide more speed and dare I say intensity. They should have spots to rotate players in and out

Ennis should be traded or waived as soon as Balcers is ready to come back
Sabourin as well when he comes back

With Ryan and Boedker in the PB ... They need to make room for a couple players as we go along.
