Agree keep our core and add to it via draft , or trading picks.. but don’t trade the future for a win now .. use the Free agency for big name players if needed
Stamkos has been on fire these playoffs. Easily Tampa's best player. I really hope we make him an offer to come and be Utah's first captain. Just keep the term short.
Imagine our top 9...
Keller Stamkos Schmaltz
Crouse Cooley Guenther
Maccelli Bjugstad Doan
I think as soon as next season you could see Utah outperform Tampa in the standings, with or without Stamkos.

If you offered a 4 year front loaded contract what would it be?

Put one of them on the wing. Load up the roster with centres.

Are we thinking Geekie spends at least one year in Tucson? And then after we draft Celebrini we'll be fat at the center position. Hayton eventually gets packaged in a trade to bring in help on the back end. Utah wins the Cup in 2029.
Wyshynski is proposing Marner for Keller, to which I saw f*** no.
Heck no. Very happy with Keller at his salary and production vs Marner and his 14 year old boy behaviour.

We have two team Canada heros. I'm willing to trade one of them.
That's in free agency. Expecting a trade or few in between the lottery and the draft! Could see rfas being involved too!

Maybe, but need to prioritize defense. I think our top 3 lines should be above average assuming Cooley, Guenther, and Doan continue to grow.
Lot's of talent in the pipeline too, but if we want to improve next season need to bring the 3.43 ga/gp (25th in NHL) down to under 3, which likely would put us in the playoffs.
I think free agency could be a tough sell for the first offseason in Utah. No players have ever been there. At least with Arizona, despite all the issues, the players had a basis of the city/state, what it would be like to live there, the facilities at GRA/Mullett, etc. I could see us needing to go more the trade route in order to get our improvements this offseason.
I don't like Marner's play at all. No intensity.

Are we watching the same player? I love Keller but I don't think guts and Keller should be used in the same sentence. That's not putting down Keller, that's just not his game.
Why does everyone keep on putting Hayton on the first line? He should never ever see that position again. Bjugstad showed that is his spot until we can get someone better. I can't see BA standing pat with the same C' as last year. Hell, Kerfoot didn't do too bad in that position either, but I think he is has more value elsewhere.
I think Keller has been far more engaged the past two seasons. I think it's one of the biggest reasons he is more productive under Tourigny. He now shows a willingness to go to the inside and make plays. He will battle. He's not Matthew Tkachuk, but he's not Mitch Marner either.
