Curious... Does drafting Zadina make Scherbak expendable? Both are Left handed shots that play off wing. Or do we simply move Scherbak to LW to replace patch after we trade him?
Re-Tool Strategy... The best realistic forward line-up I can come up with. And Shaw and Byron will be missing camp too! So that's a spot for Hudon and Carr. Vejdemo could surprise but I can see him going to Europe for one more year. Hope we are able to convince him to play in the AHL for one year though to get use to the NA game. Not sure what we can do to improve our D from what we already have.
Drouin / Stastny / Zadina
Scherbak / Galchenyuk / Gallagher
Lehkonen / Danault / Shaw
Deslaurier / DLR / Byron
Hudon, Carr
Mete / Weber
Reilly / Petry
Alzner / Juulsen
Schlemko, Benn
Price
Niemi
Believe it or not, this is a line-up with almost $12M in cap space! Stastny ($6.5M) and Danault ($3.5M). I think Pleky is back
Stastny is not a #1 center. Shaw might not be back anymore with his long list of injuries. A left D-man must be acquired thru trade or on the UFA market. That bunch doesn't cut it at all. Galchenyuk is not a center as well as Drouin. Scherbak is a RW.
MB has to find TWO top-two line centermen + a top pairing Left d-man. Huge task.
