I agree with your philosophy of letting Lambert see what he can do with this team. I would probably change the lines tho. Move Beau to the top line, scratch Martin and have bellows on the third line. I think the lineup will look something like this.

Beauvillier-Barzal-Palmieri
Lee-Nelson-Bailey
Bellows-Pageau-Wahlstrom
Parise-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

Pelech-Pulock
Romanov-Dobson
Salo-Mayfield

Sorokin
Varlamov

agree didn't put to much thought into line but hopefully lambert will let the young guys play

Oh I didn’t realize you weren’t focusing on lines my bad!!!

no worries, Lambert is going to be juggling them a bit at first see what works but I am afraid we are going to get kadri ( love Kadri but wrong time to sign another vet) , means losing beau! no way Bailey is moved in this market he is still a good player it would be stupid to give up draft picks just to move Bailey, be hard enough to move beau and get a solid return

I could c Lou doing something stupid like dealing Beau and Bailey for Zadina. That way the NYI add another chronic underachiever and Detroit gets two NHL wingers lmao.

call me crazy but I like that deal, the only thing I don't like about it is that the cap space we free up goes to kadri which will haunt us down the road

They don’t really have anyone to sign that’s good lol. Like if you traded beau and bailey for picks and then signed Milano and Rodrigues for a year I’d get it. But why would anyone do that if they can just sign Milano or Rodrigues for a year for free lmao.

I picked zadina cause I think he’s the 2018 version of Zacha only worse Lmao
