I wouldn’t. He’ll never be worth anything near his current contract. He’s a shell of his former self.I’d kick tires on Tarasenko.

Well maybe not or maybe he won't have much choice. We'll see.
Not sure Mark Stone with an extension cost Brannstrom and a second.Lindholm with an extension will cost more than that.
Right now he adds very little. He’s a 3rd line centre as long as Danault stays

Then we still only have one offensive centre. The position still needs upgradingKeep PD and move KK. KK is a 3c and isn’t anything special. Evans is more than capable of that spot.
out: Tatar, Drouin, Byron, Chiarot (expansion)
(team needs)
(Hyman/Saad) - Suzuki - Caufield
Lehkonen - (Danault) - Gally
Toffoli - KK - Anderson
Perry - (Coleman/Gaudreau) - Armia
Evans
(Martinez) - Weber
Ed - Petry
Roma - Fleury
Kulak

thing is, 2/3 of the forwards had same or worst production than him, and while it's not all about production, his play was no worse than Byron, Lehkonen, Evans, Staal and maybe a few others. a guy on waivers, one who will not come back, a NHL Journeyman, a career bottom 6 player... If he's playing as well or better than them and is still being scratched...Danault will not get PP & offensive responsibilities - KK needs to step it up and prove he’s got ability to drive offense & sustain that thrust (as opposed to being good for one or two games) along w Suzuki
Are you saying Vegas wasn't a legitimate contender because the entire hockey world thought so.
Surely you can’t be serious?Yes it does. I’ve said it before my target would be Monahan. I’ve seen enough of KK, he was a bad pick at 3ova. Evans can take KK spot.
Hyman is a strong skater, plays with Gallagher like ferocity and is fearless. I never worry about players who miss chances only those who never get chances.Why expose Chiarot over Ed? Can Ed not be exposed? To me Ed should go over Chiarot.
Hyman? Really? That dude can't finish anything. Did you see all the golden opportunities he missed in the TO series? If he buries any of them, MTL is out.
I kind of like the idea of Martinez if he's not too expensive.
I'm also not sure Weber is first pairing anymore. So, I'd put Petry/Chiarot first and Weber/Marinez second, but balanced deployment. The other issue would be the kids paired on the 3rd, that's not going to happen with this coaching staff. Early season, I'd probably go
Roma/Weber
Chiarot/Petry
Martinez/Fleury
and deploy in a balanced way. That is a pretty solid 6 D with mobility and size up and down. The only reason I have Weber on 1st is because he won't be third pairing. It's also the only way Roma gets into the top 4. Again, though, I'd just roll D in the first half of the season to get the kids TOI and experience. Then later, tighten things up as games become more important... or not if it works. Don't get me wrong though, I'm under no illusions that that will actually happen.
To the people that think that Seattle will pick Chiarot keep on dreaming, When you have a choice of picking Allen, Fleury etc, for cheap. Also there are alot more better defenseman that will be available. The only way for Seattle to take a high price player from us or as people want it's to place Price Weber Chiarot Byron Drouin available to them but as we all know this wont happen

To be fair they didn't even fix the right part of his shoulder until the third one. This is why he is even asking for a trade; doesn't trust their team doctors.Tarasenko can still score but do you want to take cap/salary/price risk on a guy who’s had 3 shoulder surgeries in a year and a half.
