As a goalie myself, that top line makes me feel bad for other goalies. I desperately want to win the Kuzmenko auction, he's the hang around the net and get the dirty goals guy that top line needs.
Theres going to be loads of top talent this off-season, but the next off-season is barren with top talent at LW, we need to buy this year and Kuzo is the right age.
I think Drysdale is going to get shafted on his extension, he'll get a cheap bridge. I'd resign Stolarz for a year and leave Dostal as the starter in San Diego for one more year. Yeah, he is ready, but Gibson is still going to start 50 games, and the defense is going to need time to gel, he is still waivers exempt, let him play 40-50 in the A and be the injury call up for one more season.
We need to go buy two top 4 D defensive stalwarts this off-season, one for Fowler and one for Drysdale. I'd also love to give Graves a look, but Garikov could also be a solid choice. Need someone on the right who can take top pairing for another season or two, we can sunset him and Fowler to 2nd pair when Drysdale is good to go.
