Revamped bottom six

How I picture it.

Colorado can have Staal for just the 3rd. They already have a 3c probably for next year in Arttu Ruotsalainen.

Interesting idea.

Why would Nashville do that trade though? Jarnkrok costs half as much as Donskoi and produces basically the same amount of offense. If they move Jarnkrok it's because they're commiting to a rebuild, and Donskoi does nothing for them. Jost is young enough to fit a rebuild though so makes a lot more sense for them.

Don't you think it's a little ambitious to expect a 23 year old 'prospect' with zero experience in North America to just slide into a 3C role?

Buffalo made a similar mistake by moving O'Reilly thinking that Mittelstadt could replace him and that didn't work out great.

That's the tricky part. It probably takes a sweetener better than Kamenev, but I put him in since they drafted him.

Logic for them would be to still try and be competitive while also rebuilding a bit. Otherwise maybe a guy like Forsberg bails. Whether that logic is sound is questionable but that is my thought process.
