Tight

Some team is going to get a steal in Killorn. Might as well be SJ.

welcome to CapFriendly man! Pretty solid first team!

I think Merkley should be in the AHL for his first pro season on the top pair getting 1st powerplay minutes. Not great for his development if he's on the 3rd pair and I'm not even totally sure he's NHL ready. Then maybe in the 21-22 season he can make the jump to the 2nd pair if Burns has fallen off a cliff or was selected by Seattle. I would like to see him with a veteran, stay at home defenseman like Vlasic.

I also would keep Chmelevski and Pasichnuk in the AHL because they both look like pretty solid prospects but likely aren't NHL ready and if they're scratches they wouldn't get that much playing time which would hinder their development.

Last minor change I would make would be having True and Kellman in the lineup instead of Bergmann and Handemark.


Overall a pretty solid team though!

Thanks for the welcome.

I think we will sign a vet 6-7 dman for cheap and leave the other spot open for internal competition. It wouldn’t surprise me to see guys moved up and down from the Cuda all year unless someone really shines.

I think the last 4 forward spots are also going to be open to internal competition. We’ll see who comes back ready to take a spot.

I thought Kellman has already indicated he wasn’t coming back.

oh really? I didn't know. That would really suck. I thought he was a great 4c in his first season.

HV71 want a top 1C, they mentioned Lias Andersson & Joel Kellman specifically as targets. Guess we just gotta wait and see.
