Was that a TDL move? Tampa Bay?

Something tells me that Hampus gets more, but I'd be all over that deal though if I were the Ducks.

If we don't see some growth from Mahura, I could see them signing 1 more d-man, maybe someone like Zadorov? I'd also love to add a mid-high end winger, but it'll obviously depend on where the team ends up drafting.

I can see two scenarios playing out, both of which I'm ok-ish with-Scenario 1) The team stays healthy, and ends up staying in the playoff race until the last couple of weeks of the season (The Pacific is pretttttty bad, and that d-core/goaltending can keep the team in a lot of low scoring games *IF HEALTHY!*...), resulting in a pick around 12 OA, or scenario 2) Injuries derail the season about a month in, and the they end up with a top 5 pick. I'd be reasonably content with either scenario, given that scenario 1 would represent solid growth from the kids, and scenario 2 would likely still see the young guys taking on bigger roles to gain experience.

When it comes to the draft, obviously the ideal scenario would be to get Shane Wright, but man-oh-man the Yotes and Sabres are going to be really, really bad. If I'm outside of 1OA, my draft board would look like:
-Lambert
-Savoie
-Geekie
-Miroshnichenko
-Nemac
-Cooley

I thought Parayko and Pulock set a fair price for Lindholm

It has to be Manson is a UFA @ the end of the season. Tampa Bay would have to have someone making that 1.025 mil go LTIR at the time because they got $712 cap space

Yeah, I mean it'd be absolutely ideal. If he stays healthy this year and hit FA, someone is going to go crazy for him. If regular fans got to see Hampus play on a regular basis, I'd imagine there'd be about 10+ Hampus trade threads on here a day

CBJ decline. Steel is looking more like a Bottom-6 forward, which we have plenty of, and we need Peeke at RD.

Cbj needs peeke. Hes one of 2 right shot dman we have and he looks like he should be a solid defensive first number 4.
