Description

Hmm, excluding RD I kind of like this team.

Posted this on another ACGM, but Schmaltz probably doesn't fit Arizona's timeline or salary structure. Wings give up the Isles 2023 1st + a younger, cost controlled Zadina looking for a new start. The Yotes would have 3 1st round picks in 2023.

Wings take on Myers last year of contract, but honestly this could be a UFA like Dumba or Clifton for example.

Adin as a steady #2 backup goalie.

Depending on Kasper's progress he could either be #2C (probably with Copp on his wing) or #3C here. If he's #2, I'd probably have Suter in the lineup for 3C and leave either Mazur or Soderblom in GR.

Fabbri's always hurt. Hagg and Lindstrom subbing in because injuries are inevitable.

Look at all those Right-handed shots on the RW!!

Confused as to why you signed Suter at 2x$4m to have him be a healthy scratch??? Surely you could get a player that costs much less to be your 13th forward.

Schmaltz is worth more. Why did you sign Suter at a 2x$4m deal to only have him as a 13th forward

Zadina and a 1st isn't getting Schmaltz. And he'd be 2C in Detroit. Not 2W.

I don't see Suter returning. If he were Stevie likely would've given him a contract extension during the season. That's just my gut feeling. Chiasson and/or Czarnik are much cheaper depth options for 13/14 F.
