Description

- Brad Larsen is not fired, but demoted back to an assistant coach, to make way for a new hire. I would hope Claude Julien is available, since his style of coaching is great for defensive structure and we certainly need some of that. Sounds like a pipe dream, but I don't know.

-Alex Texier's contract is allegedly supposed to slide into next year due to his stay overseas.

-David Jiricek's contract slides into next year. The more years of control, the better.

-Bo and Bean are gone, so Blanks can have some playing time (at the expense of playing his off side). I would hope he can manage...

-Yegor scores a bridge deal, and gets put on a Young Guns line with Silli and Kirill. This idea has been dinging around my head for a while, and i really want to see it in action.

Trades

CBJ

Milne, Michael
2024 2nd round pick (MIN)

MIN

Boqvist, Adam

Additional Details:

This is assuming Matt Dumba leaves in FA. Blankenburg's rise to the NHL level, Andy getting extended, and Guddy being unmovable means Boqvist is the odd man out.

CBJ

2023 3rd round pick (VAN)

VAN

Bean, Jake

Additional Details:

Bean's been bad. No other way to say it. For a defenseman, he's been rather lackluster on defense, and gives away the puck a lot.

Team and compensation are subject to change (any team really)

I know boqvist is injury prone, but that is selling low on Boqvist. He’s worth at least a 1st.

Man we really need a 1C, I know Horvat may not be that but he's better than what we have rn... Feel like we can get a trade done with Vancouver or sign him as an FA in the off season

I’d say a little low on Boqvist, maybe a little high on Bean but whatever.

I’d love to go after Trotz, though he might be too defensive. Maybe someone like Joe Sacco or someone like that.

I’d also spend a bit of that 8 mil on a number one center.

I’d love for COL to take a flyer on Bean. Admittedly I haven’t watched him play of late, but recall liking what I saw when I did watch him play.

Shame about his cap hit though
