“I’m not as worried about the 5-on-5 scoring.”
I’d be fine either way. Big fan of Ekblad and I value him higher than most. Having said that, I’m perfectly content keeping DeBrincat, Strome, and Boqvist as all have potential to be really good players for us. I think something around Strome+ for Hanifin+ is far more realistic and still upgrades our D both now and in the future.
Another thing to think about is Boqvist+ for Sergachev. I suggested that and Strome for Dumba. Not sure how realistic that Dumba trade is but Minnesota wants a top-6 C for him.
Go full NHL 20:
Move Maatta and de Haan — sign Petro for the same value.
Trade Boqvist for Sergachev if you can’t offer sheet him
Re-sign 4K
Sergachev-Petro
