Three concerns are Dumo with his injuries and his play after his ankle. He may be the LTIR guy from here. Matheson needs to play and then see what he either can become or not become. That contract is an albatross which is not a giant issue but still you can't have much flexibility with that length. Look they had to buy out JJ with such a bad signing as to length. Fortunately Tanev looks to be a good signing but we know that will be a problem a couple years out.
Thirdly, they have to move on from the speed and right side of the puck nonsense. They need size at forward and at least some D. Poulin, OConnor, Legare have decent size and POJ does play bigger than his reported size. Petts has to go as POJ is simply better and unload that contract. Petts can bring a decent to good asset back. No more tweeners like ERod or the forward from florida who adds nothing. From here drafting, roster construction and cap management will be key for the next GM.
Why does Pettersson have to go? He’s 24 and signed to a good contract. More important he’s a good top 4 D man.
