I wonder if we can wait until after the XD to extend Lowry. It'd work best for keeping Harkins in the fold.
The more important extention is Copp though. Should be an interesting offseason when it comes to #3 and #4 centres. Copp, Harkins, Lowry, Stastny, Gustaffson, Perfetti all in play.
I’m not too worried about losing Harkins or Appleton. We have a lot of guys coming up, Perfetti, Gus, Ves.
I’d be mildly worried about losing Berdin because we have nothing in the system for goalies really, but I don’t think the Jets have to make any moves around the XD...let it play out.
Wheels waiving doesn't help the Stanley issue, given that wouldn't get us to 4 + 4.I think we are setup pretty good. The only exception is Stanley. He has played very well lately and his stock is rising. I would hate losing him as 6’7” dmen don’t come along very often. I would love to see Wheels pull the ultimate captain move and waive for the XD. I have doubts Seattle would pick a 35yr old making 8+M. That would give us so many more options or the very least, clear 8M to sign Hamilton
Pionk is going to want paid for his next contract, I'd move him before the xd, let someone else overpay and protect him.
On Defence, I’m thinking we protect Morrisey, Demelo and StanleyAs it stands now, our XD protection list looks to be...
Forwards: Scheifele, PLD, Connor, Ehlers, Wheeler, Copp, ????
Defence: Morrissey, DeMelo, Pionk
Goalie: Hellebuyck
That ???? In the forward group can be filled with Lowry or Stastny if extended before the draft, or any other player if not.
(This with the obvious assumptions we resign Copp and Pionk)
Is Stanley a replacement for Pionk?On Defence, I’m thinking we protect Morrisey, Demelo and Stanley
I know we are both projecting right now, but yeah, if Stanley continues his current level of play as his base and improves from here, he is a keeper. This will be very interesting to watch.On Defence, I’m thinking we protect Morrisey, Demelo and Stanley

More of a gamble, but if Stanley keeps on an upwards path, He becomes more of a unicornSlow down here. Stanley has been ok but I think you are getting way ahead of yourself here.
I’d flip Samberg and Forbort, but okReally really hoping that Carolina don’t have the money/term in their plans to lock Hamilton long term. With Perreault and Stastny’s cap coming off the books this year we should be able to make a sizable offer (8.5 x 7?) that other teams wouldn’t be able to. If we landed him, I think this lineup has enough punch to win us a cup. Assuming Appleton gets taken in the XD.

Ah yes, totally forgot about Forbort. He’s been a welcome addition.I’d flip Samberg and Forbort, but ok
Let’s just watch his path. If we had to submit our protection list today , Obviously not, however I am saying if he gets slightly better throughout the yearHe's played like what? 7 minutes a night against Ottawa so far for 3 games? 1 against Toronto where he was sheltered AF against the quicker players?
4 game sample and he's being protected? Lol.
Actually, my bad, I posted that wrong...put Samberg on the 2LD, Forbort on the 3LD, and Heinola on the 3RDAh yes, totally forgot about Forbort. He’s been a welcome addition.
Who wants him back?Tyler Myers still playing like Myers in Van. The people that are saying they want him back should watch him play and remind themselves of what a liability he is in his own zone. Four more years at 6m per year.
Can't remember where I read it on here but people wanted him back. Truth is stranger than fiction.Who wants him back?
That’s like wanting Kulikov or Bitetto back
Scarier to, apparentlyCan't remember where I read it on here but people wanted him back. Truth is stranger than fiction.
I'd say he's regressed in VCR. He was never great defensively with the Jets, but my goodness he looks lost with the Canucks. That contract is an albatross. Benning is under the gun, as he should be. That roster is weird. Some very talented players, but a bad mix without enough depth, it seems.Tyler Myers still playing like Myers in Van.
