Definitely not doom and gloom lol but I think trading Barrie and others could help build-up our farm system and recoup some picks for us. Personally, I prefer as I don't think our team is ready to take the next step at least until Babcock is gone.

I don't think so, I think he'll excel. I think certain guys need to be given more of a chance to succeed. I think Dermott is going to turn heads, he is such a good skater and stops entries extremely well. He's also stronger than people think, he is a baby face so he looks small but he's sturdy and isn't afraid to push back. I think he could surprise and you just won't say if he can handle it until he is give a chance.

Babcock has the year and we may as well go for it. I don't think much change will come but I think some guys are better than people think and honestly if Dermott earns the top pair, I'd definitely move Ceci because I think Holl may already be better than him.

He certainly could surprise and I would live for him to prove me wrong. I'm also ok with giving him a chance this year but in time as he just came back. That being said our D would be much stronger if we could bring in a partner for MO and put Dermott on the 2nd pair. He is a very good skater, stops zone entries welll and also moves the puck quite nicely but he's playing weaker comp, less minutes and doesn't have to cover for Rielly. Also, I never said he wasn't strong actually I think quite the opposite.

I don't mind Ceci for the year but he would be the first one I would move to save $. I do like Holl and think he will be back next year and if dermott does take his spot I can see Ceci being traded as we have Holl but it will take time as I alluded to in my previous comment Dermott just came back from injury.
