Description

I like the idea of trading Scandella and signing one of Leddy,Zadorov,Kulak,Chiarot. I feel like we should keep Krug this season and only consider moving him if Perunovich develops and suprasses him in the lineup. this is how I would rank our Parayko partner options.

1. Zadorov
2. Chiarot
3. Leddy
4. Kulak
5. Scandella

Chiarot shouldn't even be in consideration. Leddy is fine, but we need to get younger, not older. Kulak is a number 5-6 defenseman, but better than Chiarot. Zadorov adds a lot of size and intimidation, but don't think he's reliable enough defensively to let Parayko move up on the play.

Wow. I'm trying to figure out how to say this as kindly as I possibly can... this list is brutal, and it gets worse the higher it goes. I'd rather put Scandella there, and I definitely do not want Scandella there. Sorry, man, but not one of these five would be in my top 15. And Chiarot is a positively gruesome idea. And since you may ask, I'll make a top 5 (of at least somewhat reasonable targets) in no particular order:

Gavrikov
Soucy
Sandin
Lindgren
Graves

And Ferraro would be the pipe dream.
