Now this is interesting. Juulsen might never be the same player he used to be, he is just now back to practicing/playing. But it will be interesting between Juulsen and Fleury for the RD 3rd pairing next year. Hudon is having success at AHL level, can he translate that to NHL. He is not a bottom six player, his skill set is ideally a 2nd line player but he is not producing at NHL level. Was it a confidence issue? coaching style? But a decision needs to be made.
Now for the interesting part and you are one of the few people addressing this. I see Suzuki as the 1st line C in two years. Can he improve on his faceoff's and handle top line responsibilities. As much as I love Danault, he is not a 1st line C. However, I am old enough to remember Lemaire between Lafleur and Schutt. A responsible two way player between two snipers and it worked. KK is producing at AHL level, I think this has really helped and it should have been where he started, however, he either stuck at NHL or went back to Finland and team wanted him here, so I get it. I think Suzuki, KK, Danault and Evans are your four Centres of the future with Poehling sliding to the wing. But I also think KK should do another year at the AHL level. I like Domi, but he is not a winger. So the question is do you sign him to a short term deal, considering you still have RFA status left in him or do you move him for the trade you mentioned? I like your offer, would it be enough to get those two guys? If you do get Silverberg, I see him above Armia.
