Long term roster

So want the two goalies to be all ready to be in house just leaving junior, I believe quite possibly there could be a need to completely replace 1a/1b at Center, definitely need the man, the myth, the legend buffy reincarnation

agreed. I do think that at least one of lambert, lucius, perfetti, or vilardi can be top 6 centers in the NHL. My money is on 2 getting there. However, we may not have a true 1C for a while without schiefele if Lambert doesn't pan out (he's the only one I think has that potential). That's why I would entertain the idea of getting another big top 6 center and moving 3 of those guys to the wings to better balance the lineup.

We do need a buff reincarnation. But realistically, a right-handed samberg would do tbh. Someone who is solid in his own end and can also skate.

I'm a big believer in dom being a 1A and milic being a 1B. However, that's not happening for another 3-4 years in my opinion so we need a stop gap

Was kind of hoping they were going to throw a 5x contract at samberg, and turn into a rather large bargain in year 3/4/5, but it is what it is. Your probably right at least 1b should be in house, would be nice to find that 1a that a lot of teams get In top 5 in draft, possibly a similar route to Buffalo and them acquiring tage Thompson type

If I’m chevy, I personally move helly and scheifele asap and go for a top 10 pick to be that 1c/rd.

Also move guys like Dillon and other pending UFAs who won’t sign for high picks which we can flip at the draft to fill the other needs. Then we can really start competing again in 2 years time.

I think you’re right, that haul from la should have us inline to be in the conversation again, when colorado steps back and Dallas takes over in a couple seasons. If like you said, keep selling anyone that isn’t in the cards beyond this season. Even some late elc guys that might not be qualified or on their last legs with the team they were drafted by. It’s nice to see the enthusiasm coming from the guys coming from la and also the last few firsts, would be so nice to build on that and move out any negatives. If I’m scheifeles agent I get him to change his tune rather quick, most money and influence and recognition is staying In Winnipeg, why is it I see hawerchuks career path and scheifele so close together after leaving Winnipeg anyway, start bouncing through multiple teams, but we will see, still a interesting off-season yet.
