At goal we seem content and so set.
On D. Wideman is UFA and so gone. Matheson stays at least until 2025-26. Savard may be gone at TDL as he is UFA. Guhle is a fixture. Xheraj get a 2 year bridge.
We all see Harris as odd man out but the team and MSL like him. He needs to bulk up a bit but I think he, Struble , Kovacevic and Barron fight it out at camp. Mailloux would likely be in that fight also. Not sure if Barron has to clear waivers next year.
Reinbacher, Hutson and Engstrom should play in Laval for the year. Simmering always makes it better as long as it's not overdone and a year in Laval isn't over doing it.
At forward. White and Pearson are UFA and gone. Ylonen is RFA and gone be it traded or released.
Gallagher is untradeable. If Dvorak gets his stuff together and is healthy he could move at TDL but worst case he is gone as a UFA. Anderson has no value but I would not be surprised if he got himself and his game on track and then he could be moved at TDL. Armia you keep to TDL and he likely gets us a 3rd.
Evans I extend if the number is right. Guy does his job as 4th line C, wins a bit more faceoff than he loses, he earns his money. Same with Pezz believe it or not. Guy gets few minutes and often scratched, but he has the highest hits per minute in the league and plays hard on the 4th line. WTH.
RHP goes for 2 out of 3 good seasons next year and he should get his chance.
Excited to see Dach, Newhook and Roy next year.
Suzuki is a no.1C. Caufield ya more goals would have been nice but he has had a good, more rounded year. And Slaf ? This should be fun.
Tanking ? Well we have pretty much traded everyone we can except for a çouple guys who will move this coming season. Other than that it's all about the young guys getting better and competition deciding things for limited spots. And being healthy.
So improvement of young guys and healthier team, namely Dach and the top 6, and I could see a 10 point increase next season.
