👍 You could add Adam Engstrom and William Trudeau too

If you expect Hudson to in the 7\8 slot, why not have him in the AHL with Reinbacher?

No one goes with 4 or more kids, so Barron and Harris are probably out, and carry more value now than they will later (when theyre in AHL or healthy scratch):

I'd go with:

Guhle - Savard
Matheson - Struble
Xhekaj - Mailloux
Harris- Kovacevic

Barron is traded, Harris maybe is kept as the 4LD, with Hutson and Reinbacher in AHL, Ideally in 25-26, sign a top LD, let Matheson/Savard/Kovacevic go (trade) and have Reinbacher with Guhle and Hutson with Struble, or Hutson the year after

I am excited for Engstrom as well but he will be in the AHL next year.

It's not that I want him there, trying to find a scenario where he can play 15+ minutes a night.

But I do agree that he might have to begin in the AHL
