We started the season like **** and then had a road trip that went poorly. A coach turning to the guys he has trust in in that hard time shouldn't surprise. It's now that we're back home that I'd expect Redmond to get a look if Guenin keeps sucking.
Same as then sending down Everberg over cliche when Aitto got called up. Doesn't mean patty doesn't want to give EB chances to establish himself over cliche, just that that hasn't happened yet.
Next season our third pairing should be Redmond with Stuart or a Hejda like FA to be pushed by Siemens if we can't add someone to play with EJ and bump Stuart down. Holden in the top 4 seems pretty much a lock until and an EJ partner is brought in and Siemens or Bigras surpass him in a few years.
Getting the EJ partner will be the tricky part. While we don't have any crucial FAs to re-sign next summer like we did this past one, we will have 4 core guys who expire the summer after that. And how much cap space they take up could effect what we can afford to spend on a dman, so we really need at least a couple of those guys to have their terms worked out before FA opens and they can officially put pen to paper. If that happens, and the deals are on the friendlier side, at least for EJ and MacK, then we should have a good chance to pull one of Sekera, Erhoff, or Martin.
