Description

Saw Pronman did this and he can be a bozo but he wasn't that far off especially given how impossible of a task it is to predict 5 yrs out.

Obviously the holes they have are hard to fill, but the overall depth is looking pretty good. If they can get Eiserman (LW) or Levshunov (RD) and they really smack, that would fill a big hole. Clean house of some of these dmen and add a UFA LD like Theodore/Chychrun/Hanifin/Forsling and continue to draft (maybe actually take some swings instead of go safe :/).

Hard to say whether or not they should extend Buch. He's a great player right now but trading him probably makes more sense than tacking on another scary/aging contract.

It should be an exciting power play unit if they have Bolduc and Snuggerud shooting on either side and Dvorsky at the net. Maybe Perunovich will still be around to QB??

Parayko LTIRetired by then?

IMO this team lacks a clear star prospect. Snuggerud, Dvorsky and Bolduc are all very good prospects who will be impactful but there is nobody that stands out to me and is a future star. I think 2 years of top 5 picks would make this team so special, but that obviously wont happen. Just imagine having Levshuov and Hensler/Misa/Hagens? Phew

Quoting: Kyle_Okposo_Lover

Agreed. They most definitely need a couple top of the lineup players: a 90+ pt forward and an all-sits no.1 d-man. Hard to find unless you're picking at the top and even then you need some luck.

I’d like to see us look into Pinto, he could be a good bet (lol) for the future of this forward group
