Description

I seriously believe this team can be a playoff team next season. There's lots of depth and skill and depending on how Boston\ Washington\Pittsburg's offseasons go they could leave open 1 or 2 playoff spots in the eastern conference. If Bergeron resigns and Ovi bounces back fast from his injury then making the playoffs would be more of an outside chance and take a little luck.

Lots of cap space left over so gives us room to make moves if we want.

Still a huge glut of wingers and I don't know if Chinny and Marchenko get into the lineup unless players like Gus/Tex/Bemstrom get traded. They could out play Robinson or Danforth in camp so maybe swap those 2 out for the Russians.

May need a big veteran on defense to help solidify the blue line so maybe signing someone from FA or trading for one could be beneficial.

didn't want to add any trades like Foudy for a 3rd round pick but know that we would qualify him and not let him walk most likely.

Not sure it’s a playoff team, but it’s also what I’ve been saying for months. Let the kids develop and see where it goes. It’ll also depend on what we draft at 6 and 12 for the following season.

I can't see Nyquist or Bemstrom being on CBJ next year, run something like Laine-Jenner-Voracek, Johnson-Roslovic-Ollie, Tex-Silly-Yegor, Robinson-Kuraly-Danforth with Marchenko possibly rotating in/in the AHL if he needs it

Edit: Guys like Foudy, Trey, Meyer would be in the same position as Marchenko most likely

Only problem with Foudy is that he is no longer waiver exempt so he will so he will have to stay on the main squad cause I doubt a team wouldn't put a claim on him if we want to send him back to the AHL.

If we get Nemec or Jiricek do you think we trade Adam or Ceulemans? Feel like we will have one of the best pipelines of young players after this draft

Rather trade Bean in that scenario, hes a lefty D that pretty much plays like Boqvist, slightly older, just produces a little less. Unless you don't wanna be filled with too many right handed D (who knew that could be a problem?) considering Ceulemans, Blankenburg, and both draft D are all Righty

Don't also wanna be filled with too many offensive minded D, as by what they say Ceulemans is a 2way guy, not just offense heavy.
