I respect the work because I did something similar before.

100% Harris is the odd one out traded for a prospect. Maybe Farrell also. Too many LHD and small wingers.

But IMO Ylonen is an important part of the rebuild. Big foward with goal scoring habilities will be an important need on this team. I like the player. Way better than Pezz anyway.

And I wouldn't plan on Monahan resigning. I heard the rumors but I will believe it only when it's done. And even then, can we be sure he'll stay healthy? Better to plan without him, meaning there's a big need for a bottom 6 center. Davidson won't be it, maybe as a winger but it's a long shot.

I can't tell if guhle @ 8x 5.5 is optimistic or pessimistic.

Both sides would be wise to accept that, Guhle more so as I don't think his offensive potential is super high.

I love the blueline, I think those are the guys to keep going forward. Not too sure where Mailloux fits so it would have to be either him or Barron, I don't think you can have both as they are similar players.

After Sanderson's deal, VERY optimistic.
