Now that the playoffs are officially over, we get to find out finite answers to all of our questions:
Bergevin - Presumably getting a new contract - 3 years or 4?
Ducharme - No chance Bergevin doesn't bring him back, for better or worse.
UFAs - Tatar is gone without a doubt, but I can't imagine Bergevin will be allowed to let Danault walk ... I think we're about to get taken to the cleaners. Lehkonen probably back, I imagine Armia will want to go somewhere he can get more minutes and more money. Chiarot or Edmundson are gone with the expansion draft, hopefully the former.
So if all of that is true - what is our vision moving forward? Price and Weber might have one kick left at the can, but our team truly was a Cinderella run ... What do we need, and how do we add it? Will Bergevin go that route, or stay the course and hope to keep all of our draft picks and slowly add through the draft. What will happen with Drouin?
It seems with Seattle and the flat cap that a LOT of players are going to be available ... I feel like Bergevin is going to go after DeAngelo (for better or worse), bring back Perry, and add a top 9LW and hopefully an LD. I could see him swinging for Eichel using Kotkaniemi and a few 1sts as the main piece if other teams won't part with their big prospects (Byfield, Turcotte, Zegras, etc)
We were 3 wins away - is there anything Bergevin can do to help us get here again?
