They will run a 25 man roster more than likely. Gio + Gregor - Maybe Timmins.

But yes... This is a flop.

But barely any picks and a shallow prospect pool...

Knies
Cowan
Minten
Hildeby
Robertson
Niemela
Grebenkin
Hirvonen
Moldenhauer
Tverberg
Voit
Akhtiamov

thank god they did not move anything for another first round exit

They need to take this summer to address the D and then next summer they can focus on building a real contender

-Knies and Robertson are no longer prospects
-Minten and Cowan are untouchables in my mind
-Niemela could play in the NHL next season

The rest don't move the needle that much

Knies and Robertson are still under 23 and under 100 NHL games, that's a prospect IMO

Grebenkin's from Russia, you should really watch him... He's going to be nice this upcoming playoff run

Hildeby's fantastic

Niemela's good

Minten and Cowan are still prospects

Hirvonen's solid

Cade Webber is also 6'6"

Adding Chychrun/Buch/sign and trade with Toffoli would've been for this and next year though...

They way I look at this team is they have no cap space next year and really opens up after that. So I am glad they did not waste assets this year.

if they can add 2 top 4 D (1 top 2) via UFAs this summer and play the kids to see what you have next year then they set them selves up for their best cup window from 2025-2028 maybe more

if they stayed short sighted we would continue the be a top 10 regular season team with no real chance at a cup

Brad and Shanahan STINK. They didn't get a right d, and I would've been FINE with Minten being MOVED to fix this void we've had for 7 years. They both should be fired for this alone.
