We def need a legit D who can step in and play big minutes. There's a couple of trades I'd like to see.
One is for Chychrun. We have the pieces to make it work. He would make our blue line much deeper.
The other is for Horvat, and depending, maybe Myers. I know he kind of sucks but he has a solid history and he's huge. I think he would be a good addition if we couldn't get Chychrun and they'd be willing to retain salary.
If we got Horvat... all bets are off. He'd be our 3C and we could afford to keep him. He is an absolute beast in the dot, and plays all special teams. Heart on his sleeve. Great loyalty. He would make the room a much more accountable place.
Jarry, Dumo, and Zucker are UFA at the end of the year, clearing up a bunch of money.
Letang needs to find his game and get back to producing points, especially at ES. Malkin needs more ice time, and Sid needs less. Sully has always played Sid more the last 3 plus years and look at what that's gotten us.
Sullivan, I do believe, is a good coach. BUT his deployment is highly questionable, and as he's said in the past, it's one of the only things you CAN control as a coach. Sully's line changes are annoying af ESPECIALLY in OT. With this much skill how the hell are they so bad in the extra frame? It makes no sense. And it's because of coaching.
