Where From Here

Add a 3rd or a 4th and the Sharks do that deal.

Jokiharju is probably the odd man out but I doubt its for a vet. Theyre clearly trying to reset their time line. So my guess is they give the open slot to Kulich or Savoie and add another former top 10 pick reclamation project. Like Wahlstrom or Turcotte.

Levi will be the back up next year.

We don’t know the answers to these questions yet
Need to see how the rest of the season plays out

For example:

If Krebs looks good at 3C, then Kulich likely starts on the wing. But if Krebs doesn’t look good, then maybe he bumps back down to 4C & Kulich gets his shot at 3C
That could give Risen his **** at RW3…. OR they could look to see what’s available in UFA market

Jokiharju is another toss up
Does Byram pair with either Dahlin or Piwer & look good?
If so, he could be available
But he is our best RD, so i could see us keeping him
He also needs a new contract though, so that’ll play into this as well

And with Levi, my guess is that we look for a Vet to backup UPL so that Levi can be the #1 starter in AHL
He’ll likely develop better that way then as UPLs backup
But again, that’s just a guess
