If the team doesn't start racking up some significant wins quickly to lock in a playoff spot. I would suggest trying Piercey on the big line to see if he can create some space with his physical game. Would probably help with his development for next season.A few more thoughts on the top 6 setup right now. I feel the top line badly lacks some physicality to make room for the skill guys while the second line of Hawerchuk-Willms-Pekar lacks a skill guy to create some offense. I'd move Chiodo down with Willms and Hawerchuk and Pekar up with Suzuki and Tortora.
If Barrie does decide to sell, what pieces do you think they'll move? Chiodo and Murray would be the two I guess? I wouldn't mind my Gens getting Jason Willms for a could mid round picks
Joey Keane would be the first one I'd imagine. Don't see Willms going anywhere as he's a good OA for the Colts next year. Murray and Chiodo definitely would be possiblities.
Just my response on the topics above, I can't see the Colts moving anyone other than Chiodo, and Murray. In my opinion keep what we have and than make some deals next year and make a big run. Players will be more developed and ready to go.
Similar situation to 2 years ago when we traded away Douglas, Brassard, Landry.......... Look where we could have been if we had kept those players last year and especially this season.
Management is gonna have to make some crucial decisions but I hope they make the right one and wait it out and go for an actual run that doesn't consist of winning their division like they have in past years.
Keane, Murray, Zhukov, Hawerchuk and Chiodo are the ones who won't be back next year I guess?

Top 6 forward for sureIf Joey Keane gets moved at rhe dealine. What return does Barrie ask for?

Well that should make the decision to sell that much easier. Ugly weekend.
Makes a lot of senseHearing that the moves are starting soon with Murray possibly on the move...makes sense, get what you can for next year and the future-asset management 101.

This?
Not even a 2nd round pick in the trade it looks like. Colts got fleeced.
Murray was a good heart and soul player, he always stuck up for his team mates. Good luck to him in Saginaw.
Who get's the C now?
