Description

- Really think of this as the roster outlook for the summer after the 25/26 season. All players filling roughly the line-up slot expected. In other words, it's not a depth chart, so I did consider how the players would fit together in line combos and pairings.

- Disregard the signing numbers and cap, I just did the quick version. The players listed in the line-up would roughly add up to 68-70M out of what should be, ohhh let's say, a 93M cap. So plenty of space to fill the four open line-up slots.

- IR = Guys with a "we'll wait and see" shot to break into the roster.
- LTIR = Guys who likely to be moved for an asset at some point (Yes, I'm including Schenn).

So I think we get a RD next year since it’s a deep defense draft. Someone like Henry Mews

It's a shame Bonk couldn't fall a few more slots.

I think for next draft we are set on forwards. Defense would be needed and we should get 8-12 potentially

Heh. It's amusing how everyone just assumes they'll play as bad next season - both in and outside STL. I guess we'll see.

I think Army will solve defense more via trades or FA. But yeah, attack is pretty set for the future. With lot of cap space availaible for years to come. So that’s cool. Just please no more “Krug/Leddy” types of contracts…
