Quoting: Trevor31lv
I agree with you on the Nash move. I should've removed that. I had it in to create cap for a different addition that I decided against.
Anderson is worth 4 mil a year as a 25-30 goal scorer if his health checks out in the offseason. He's only on the "4th" line because he clicks well with Foligno and Jenner. He'd be getting a lot of minutes. I'm not opposed to a Wennberg buyout, but I feel like that kind of deal would benifite both sides. Ottawa makes a low risk move an to get a 24 year old that has some upside and Columbus drops the entire cap hit with a small chance to get a 2nd.
I can agree on Anderson if he’s the 25-30 goals... I’d expect him between 15- 25 though. Honestly it looks like we’re just throwing money at him saying please stay.
Also I forgot to mention I like the idea on Cirelli, but I also wouldn’t mind trading Bremstrom and a 3rd for Tyler Johnson. Then we get to keep the 1st. It would suck to lose Bremstrom but after watching him in the playoffs he just wasn’t a top 9 forward, too many simple errors, that’s why he was scratched.
Lines I’d go with
Texier - PLD - Bjorkstrand
That’s pretty self explanatory top line is the top line.
Grigorenko - Cirelli/Johnson - Anderson
Anderson is a bull, let him be the bull, Cirelli or Johnson is the speed and vision, Grigorenko like to play on the outside. Anderson plays in the middle of the ice and let the other two use their speed on the outside.
Nyquist - Foudy - Atkinson
Put the rookie with 2 of the most experienced players and let them guide him
Folingo/Robinson/Jenner/Nash/Stenlund
You have 4 guys who can take faceoffs and all of them play a different style of game (mostly)
Nash- Defensive stalwart
Jenner- faceoff guy and heavy forchecker
Folingo- honestly hes kinda an agitator, really good at pissing people off
Robinson- speedy power forward, LH Anderson with slightly worse hands imo.
Stenlund- shooter, he’s the wild card. He can be put on any line to help with injuries. Decent faceoff guy, big body and can he shoot the puck (potential PP specialist)
