Few points:
1. Strome (based on his 2019/20 stats) will probably get more than 4.5M...thinking more like between 5 and 5.5M. A 2 year deal would be optimal- not too long a commitment and-(if youngsters puch the lineup)- they can trade him by TDL with another year on the contract.
2. Wouldn't yet pencil Krav into the lineup yet...sounds like he is making progress- but several that have seen him in person (albeit fans- not NHL insiders) have commented that he still doesn't look NHL ready.
3. We'll hear from Hank after the season- that will dictate how the goalie situation goes...will not be 3 goalies next year.
4. Staal- by any means necessary - must be removed from this team...retire (doubt it), trade (even more unlikely), buy out ( a good possibility), or on roster healthy scratch....can not see any ice time next year- and wouldn't think of pairing him with Nils.
