Thread: An Exciting Team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letsgosharks</b></div><div>Yeah I like your line combos, and ik this won't actually be the outcome, but I actually do think the top 9 will look very similar to that next season, with maybe 2 UFAs instead of a trade made.

I want to shy away from signing an LD just because I want to see Thrun and Mukhamadullin prove themselves. Most likely 1 will and 1 won't, so we can assess that later, but I want to give both the opportunity to so if both flourish we can reap the benefits. I wouldn't be opposed to signing 2 Top 4 RD, I just doubt we do, and I really don't want to commit to too many UFAs long term, and I think we would have to there outside of maybe Dumba. I would be willing to commit to Roy for 4 years Maybe, I don't know about Demelo though.

Maybe run something like

Eklund - Granny - Smith
Gush - Celebrini - Zetterlund
Bords - UFA - UFA or Cap dump (Fabbri from DET) maybe

Ferraro - Roy
Thrun - Dumba
Muk - Emberson</div></div>

No matter what, with Celebrini this is definitely an exciting team!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letsgosharks</b></div><div>I signed dumba for exactly that, leadership and physicality. I agree with your assessment of the third line, but I have no where else to put both of them. Gush has to get his NHL shot, and Bordeleau also should be in the NHL. Would you sign a center and put them both on the wing? or bring one up to the second line in this scenario? I also don't want to sign another top 4 d to get rid of the log jam because I assume it would have to be for longer term. Maybe bring one in through trade that's a short term cap casualty</div></div>

Maybe

Eklund. Granlund. W. Smith
Gush Celebrini. Zetterlund
R. Smith. Bords. Duclair

Or

Eklund. Granlund. Duclair
Bords. Celebrini. R. Smith
Gush. W. Smith. Zetterlund

Or just trade either Gush or Bords. Or don't sign one of Duclair or R. Smith.

There might be some top 4 D FA's available for 1 - 5 year terms. I don't think 5 is too long for a Roy or Demelo. OEL might be good for 1 - 2 years. Like Dumba, OEL had something to prove this year. Unlike Dumba, he proved it.

Read an article about Dumba, and it sounds like he was the Ferraro or Ceci of Minnesota: Fans loved him or hated him, with lots of concern about defensive mistakes.
