Miller
Boeser
Kuz
Podz
Horvat
Garland
Pettersson
Hoglander
Forward group doesnt look too shabby....now.about that D...?
My money is personally on one of Horvat/Miller being gone. I think Pettersson slides to the middle and skates between Boeser and Kuzmenko, while Podkolzin and Garland will be the wingers for whichever of Horvat/Miller stays.
Just my hunch.
Allvin probably lives in PA.
id be surprised if at least one of them isn't traded this summer, money is on Garland.God I hope we don’t trade Hoglander or garland
He wore 96 in St. Petersburg too I see... was he just a big Bure fan? Did that play a role?
Hoglander Pettersson Podkolzin
Kuzmenko Miller Boeser
Pearson Horvat Garland
Dickinson Lamikko Highmore
At least the forwards are playoff caliber
As cool as this signing is for the organization..I would still put the brakes on any expectations, that he is going to replace/ or be better than any of our current core forwards.My money is personally on one of Horvat/Miller being gone.

The NHL is a lot faster than the KHL (remember how slow Podz looked in camp..?..he had to find another gear to keep up)..Hopefully Kuz's game translates.
I like Lockwood/Highmore but I think we still need a fast aggressive sandpaperish bruiser. Deslauriers would be great but someone will pay him like $2mTrade Dickinson for cap savings and have Lockwood in the 4th RW position.

Hoglander-Pettersson-Boeser
Podkolzin-Horvat-Kuzmenko
HIghmore-Lammikko-Lockwood
I still think it might be worth letting Lammiko go and have Lazar as the 4C, Canucks need a RH center in the line-up.
bit green on the top line W, maybe Garland slots up there and one of thse 2 moves to 3WHoglander Pettersson Podkolzin

It'll be one of Miller, Garland or Boeser. No way to keep all 3 with the addition of Kuz.Great start to the offseason for the new regime. Expect to see JTM dealt, and am excited to see how the roster looks midway through July.
