Description
Apparently kronner will be coming back. Let the younger guys take the ice time. The third line is a match up line and eats a lot of minutes against other teams top lines.
Put liljegren with kronner to get him acclimated to the league. Give svechnikov and Russo another year with griffins. (Not sure of Russo ever makes it back, he's solid but he just doesn't bring anything to the table)
With edmontons first draft a center. Preferably right handed.
Edmonton and Winnipeg deals were proposed by their fans on this site. Personally I think they are fair valued and are mutually beneficial.

    Oh trust me. I completely agree he is ready. There's just no slots with the log jam of forwards. And Detroit always leaves prospects a little too long. Mantha wouldn't even have been in the line up this season if it wasn't for injuries on the team. I could see svech getting the same treatment.

    Putting any Dman with Kronner is a recipe for disaster. He might be the worst Dman in the NHL at this point. I like the Trouba trade, but highly doubt WPG says yes to it. The rest, other than Svech not making the roster, looks good to me.

    I really don't want kronner back. But I do think towards the end of this season he started to look a lot more stable. And still brings a solid vet presence that an 18 year old rookie could use to get acclimated. I don't want Ericsson either but I'm being realistic. Could easily see him and kronwall splitting time next season. And same thing I said in last response about svech

    Agree with svech getting the mantha treatment, I personally would rather have kronwall with a young kid than the conE. I like the lines too, I just might swap Nielsen and Larkin. I know it makes that line young but that can be the top line of the future type and giving goose/tatar a passing center to hopefully give them a boost too. The deals even give us money to be able to hopefully make an offer at fowler if kronwall does a ltir retire giving us a fowler-Trouba, dk-Jensen

    Pretty sure that one of either Tatar or Nyquist will be dealt this summer, Hopefully Nyquist and that opens a slot for Svechnikov unless Hollands plans on signing Vanek again this summer. Only time will tell.

    I really hope we don't bring vanek back. It's not that he isn't a good player. It is just not what we need with this team right now.

    Same here Vanek isn't a need for where this team needs to go we need younger players not players like Vanek we need to address our future core here.
