Wennberg is to offense what Lindgren is to offense. No thanks.My plan for the offseason would be:
- Shipping out Trouba and Goodrow for futures, can take a depth d-man with a bit size back if needed.
- Resign Wennberg 2-3 years, Lindberg 4-5 year (very limited on trade protection here), Give Kappo a 1 year deal, or if he wants more explore a trade, resign Schneider for 8 years if possible.
Should ice something like this:
Kreider - Zinbadejad - Chytil
Panarin - Trocheck - Lafreniere
Cuylle - Wennberg - Kakko
Vesey - Edström - Rempe
Brodzinsky
Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Schneider
Jones - UFA depth D-man on short deal
Robertson
Shestyorkin
Quick
Give Edström a chance to become a 4c, if it dont work after half a season look for a trade for a 4c, or use Chytil as 3c and Wennberg as 4c. Give Berard(Othman etc play time when injuries hit.
Fox isnt captain material. Of the young guys the one who is captain material is Laff.getting rid of Trouba and giving Fox the C cant happen soon enough. i wish they could do it today.
Who's Lindberg? Or are you using a different name for him like you did for our goalie who doesn't wear the name you listed on his jersey?My plan for the offseason would be:

You certainly can disagree that Cousins is equally valuable but you can and should do do without saying “well the team must be doing it right.”And the notion that you're smarter than everyone in that room is equally ridiculous. Nobody said anything about "perfection" but I can certainly agree to disagree that someone like Cousins is equally valuable to a team in the playoffs as Goodrow is. Penalty killing anyone? 0-for the series-Carolina. It's not always about the cap hit.
Cheers.
Got to assume he’s injured. And if so, he should be back to at least improve his value. If he’s not injured…then…oh boy.The funny part with Trouba... how many times has he whiffed on a 'big hit attempt' as of late? he slowed down that much...

Not necessarily. Make your argument on its merits.
People making arguments against what the team is doing isn’t being “smarter than everyone in the room.”
Teams are wrong all the time, even winning ones. It doesn’t mean you could do the whole job, but it doesn’t take a carpenter to know that when the roof leaks there is a problem.
And coincidentally most of the edge that NHL execs have is access, not extra intelligence.
Trouba play on a fractured ankle for an entire season? Then yes. They're the same.....Whoever said Trouba was Mayfield was spot on. Need that person to chime in more often.
Everyone is playing through something right now. Fox is 100% playing through something.im not the biggest fan of trouba, but its quite obvious hes hurt....i know hes the board whipping boy at this point but hes playing through something
then he shouldn't play because he sucks healthy tooim not the biggest fan of trouba, but its quite obvious hes hurt....i know hes the board whipping boy at this point but hes playing through something

I do agree that Trocheck would be a great C but his game has the potential to fall off a cliff. He will be 31 next season and his rugged play style typically doesn't age well. I honestly don't know how effective he will be in 2-3 years.I’m like give Trocheck the c if trouba goes

Fox could probably run with it but not sure he is "captain material".
Laf would probably be next on the list but I think he needs two strong seasons under his belt before he is considered. Tough to name a guy in his early 20s as C with the amount of vets in this lineup.
Oshie has played 44, 58, and 52 games the past 3 season. That is exactly what I mean. That is 40% of the regular season he has missed the past 3 years. Coincidentally he hasn't played more than 70 games since he turned 31Trochek will age just fine. His cap hit is already at an average amount for a 2C and moving forward that will drop as the percentage of the cap allocated to him will drop as well. I'm expecting him to age like Oshie who is still an effective PIA

You guys need to relax on Trouba... if we win the cup ... it will be because he is a big part of it.getting rid of Trouba and giving Fox the C cant happen soon enough. i wish they could do it today.
