our back 6 is more important than the forward group, assuming vanek signs here. we have a lot of pieces and probably need to move a couple, like moen/white/ maybe prust, bourque after this year.
The team is very deep up front right now, but our back-end is full of holes because our right side really only has pk.. I'm mixed on emelin, not sure if he likes the right side, or is better on the left???
to think we went the whole year without seeing emelin pk, as a way to replace markov and try to land a better right handed d surprises me. beaulieu and tinordi both play on the left side, so does gorges. there's too much there.
i don't think we re-sign get markov unless it's a steal because the left side is full.
LD:
Markov
Gorges
Potentially Emelin
Beaulieu
Tinordi
RD:
Subban
Pateryn (not good enough, IMO)
Potentially Emelin, but we only say him excel with markov and looked beyond bad with gorges.
Weaver
I assume murray and bouillon will not be re-signed here, but murray has really stepped it up and you can tell price LOVES how he keeps the front of the net clear.
the d is a mess.
