Sanheim at this point is 100% a RHD in our system. Even without a true high end 1D I think our right side is fine, the real question is getting a long term partner for Dysdale.
As for 1C.... yeah that's a huge problem. I don't even think they'll need a particularly high end one with Frost being a better 2C than he gets credit for and our winger core being so strong. I've gone on long tangents before about this, but if Zegras is truly available this summer, Briere can't afford to be outbid by WAS/MTL etc. For him. We desperately need him.
Looking at 2 years from now, what I'd kind of expect:
Foerster-Trade-Michkov
Farabee-Frost-TK
Barkey-Coots-Tippett
Cates-Poehling-Trade/FA
Trade/FA - Drysdale
York-Bonk
McDonald/Zamula - Sanheim
I think Andrae and Brink both end up traded and that we don't see anyone drafted from here onwards on the 2026 opening night roster with Michkov barring some crazy circumstances
