Speculation: Richardson-type players around the league

[RememberTheRoar]

It seems like Max Domi and Sam Lafferty are perfect examples of speedy, aggressive, and hard-working players who fit Luke Richardson’s style.

Who are some other players around the league that you think would fit Richardson’s style?

[Kevin Musto]

Probably David Kampf

Maybe JG Pageau

 

[Wally1112pac]

Kasperi Kapanen. He's really fast and can't finish.

 

[giza]

Connor McDavid

Which teams have had a recent change in team philosophy or are up against the cap that could have such players available? Vegas? Keegan Kolesar or Hague? They are clicking so far, so probably not looking to change anything.

Both signed to nice team deals they aren’t getting moved

I’ll guess Paul Byron next offseason on a PTO

 

[MicronMega]

Can we do the same for draft-eligible players? Obviously outside of Bedard

Fantilli
Carlsson
Stramel
Danielson
Moore

If you’re Fantilli, you’re probably hoping you land with the Hawks. Playing for Richardson would be pretty ideal for him.

 

[Clownish]

I'll try one more--Matt Dumba.

 

[Chuck Testa]

I'd gladly take Fantilli if the Hawks were the miss out on Bedard.

Wonder if we could pry away Jake Evans from MTL. He had a good year last year under Richardson, and is struggling this year a bit.

I think he’s still highly regarded in Montreal. Don’t think they’re looking to get rid of him.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Jesper Fast

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Jesper Fast

Because he’s fast?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Because he’s fast?

Yes

 

[Hawkaholic]

Not sure anyone said they may want to get rid of him. But they may prefer a vet with experience as they try to push for the playoffs this year or next. A trade could be made.

I don't think Montreal will be competing for the playoffs by the trade deadline and we shouldn't be moving any assets for a guy entering his late twenties.

 

[Pez68]

Montreal? Playoffs? Lol

 

[hawksrule]

I could see Montreal being a good fit for Seth Jones. They have some good offensive pieces but would need a top-pairing d to take that next step. Don’t know their long term cap sitch.
