Assuming no suspension or other unforeseen events…I’d think they should…
(1) extend Hart long-term
(2) sell Ersson
(3) play Petersen as backup for 2023-24, 2024-25
(4) bring Fedotov back after 2-yr KHL deal (in 2025)
(5) develop Bjanason and Zavragin for 2027 and beyond
Their window probably won’t open for a couple of years so playing Petersen can only produce upside. If he rebounds, they could always sell him. If Fedotov returns, he could be top back-up for a couple of years (2025 until Bjarnason or another kid is ready).
