“I’m not as worried about the 5-on-5 scoring.”
it depends on who moves out obviously and where this team truly sees Kampf as.
I think our top 9 is pretty set right now if the team wants to keep rolling with Sikura, and if they dare go after Panarin then all bets are off.
If we move out AA then whatever comes back might slot in there or Kampf when he returns. That leaves the 4th line completely open and we agree that we need upgrades there. I do think Barratt can slot in right away next year in that role, maybe we want him to have a lot of minutes and learn the pro game so he starts in the AHL, but he should be up next year at some point to add that energy/speed like Shaw did years ago. I am okay over paying on a shorter term for a guy like Tanev, this team needs that not only for our 4th line but for our pk as well- dude is awesome out there in both roles, literally noticeable in every Jets game I watch and in a good way.
Would it make sense to sign both Tanev and DSP to shorter overpay deals to be our 4th line wingers?
