I'm not sure what PD means about taking a big step this yr, when almost everyone is picking them to be dead last this season, other than doing more of the same. I expect him to continue to ship out the old guys or UFAs & develop the young guys to be good NHL players to replace the guys they are shipping out of town. I also think the team that starts the yr in Ottawa will certainly not finish the yr in Ottawa & there should be a number of prospects replace those who have left who have proven they deserve the jobs.
To start the 2019 - 2020 season:
Duclair - Anisimov - Ryan
Tkachuk - White - Batherson
Ennis - Teirny - C. Brown
Paul - Pageau - Boedker
Chabot - DeMello
Wolanin - Zaitzev
Boroweicki - Hainsey/Jaros
Anderson - Nilsson/Hogberg
To end the 2019 -2020 season:
Duclair - Anisimov - Ryan
Tkachuk - White - Davidsson
Paul - L. Brown - Batherson
Formenton - Tierny - C. Brown
Chabot - Zaitsev
Wolanin - Jaros
Englund - Goloubef/Lajoie
Nilsson - Hogberg/Gustavsson
I don't disagree this could very well happen or something close to it. What it does though is deplete Belleville down their stretch. At this point, 0 games in, they look like they could contend in the AHL on paper. If they look like a top 4 team in the AHL .. do we strip their best players and watch them sink closing out the year?
