When the isles signed Brassard, he was expected to fill the 3rd line center spot. He has been more productive on the wing. Ahler Cole Bardreau looked good in his earlier call up but, has not been given more nhl icetime.
That leaves Lou searching for another 3rd line center.
Barzal , Nelson ,????? , Cizikas.
Going into one of the deepest drafts in yrs, the isle cannot afford to move their 1st. They could package their 2nd or 3rd with a solid prospect.
1. NHL ready LHD Sebastion Aho. He was recently named to his 3rd straight AHL all-star game.
2. Big center Otto Koivula has 2nd/3rd line upside but is still raw.
3.MVS, another smooth skating defenseman stuck in the AHL because of the isles blueline logjam.
And let's pretend Ottawa has already extended Pags and avoid going back down that rabbit hole debate.
Which teams, expected to be sellers, have a 3C available and at what asking price?
