Currently writing this really long, really boring essay and needed to take a break.
With the Wings inevitably entering a rebuild and it being the end of the year, who do you think are going to be impact players long term on the team? Which guys are staples in the lineup? When the team is becoming relatively competitive again, what do you think our lineup will look like? Lets speculate!
Basing my roster three years down the line, 2019/2020 season.
Svechnikov - Larkin - Mantha
AA - Neilsen - Tatar
Bertuzzi - Holmstrom - G. Smith
Abdelkader - Glendenning - Helm
Dekeyser - Hronek
Ouellet - Jensen
Cholowski - Saarijarvi
(Nyquist traded for D help, Z retired.)
Obviously not talented enough (especially on the backend), and expecting too much of our prospects. With our high draft picks, and maybe some key UFA signings/ trades, could it look something like this down the line and actually be competitive?
UFA/ DRAFT - UFA/ DRAFT - Mantha
Svechnikov - Larkin - Tatar
AA - UFA/ DRAFT - Bert/ Smith
Abdelkader - Glen/ Neilsen - Bert/ Smith
UFA/ DRAFT - Hronek (?)
Dekeyser - UFA/ DRAFT
Cholowski - Jensen
Helm/ Glen gets dumped. Big Rig LTIR'd, Green traded/ unsigned, Kronner retired.
We have a looong way to go, but I'm excited about the pieces we have now & I'm excited for competitive Wings hockey in the future!
