I’d take any bottom 6 center who doesn’t have a crazy asking price. Wennberg, T Johnson, Novak, Dowd, etc

Brodzinski is probably a better fit for 4C in my opinion. The 3rd line has cooled down lately

I agree. Kakko and cuylle definitely look like a solid pairing though. I think 20 and 93 drag kakko down.

Kreider and Mika officially have to be broken up. They’ve tried so many RWs with them and nothing works

Kreider and trocheck have looked good together and I think Panarin/Laffy could carry Mika

Would just hate to break up 10-16-13. Unfortunately it’s probably the only way to break up 20 and 93 which has to be done

Well now is the time to experiment and see what can get Mika and Kreider going separately. You can always go back to panarin trocheck Laffy because you know it works

3C is a tough one, there is not enough there that is worth the ask, and no reason to spend assets for a player that is marginally better than Brodz.

Novak's price is rising given recent comments by Trotz on his extension and if the NYR were to get him it would have to be a stuff and probably not worth it.

No interest in dealing with the Ducks, overpriced in value. Vatrano had a great run with us, but not at recent prices, and no guarantees he plays to current levels. He is a volume shooter, it has been speculated that KZ needs more of a play driver (cmp KZB).

One player that might be worth it, if reports are correct on the ask, is Roslovic. Anywhere from a 2nd to 4th is in the realm and, he has position flexibility (C, RW) and good skating. Roslovic is streaky but if he hits come playoffs, it could be worth sending a later draft pick and b prospect for him.

Like to see NY call Calgary about Backland to be 3C
