Description

I think this is what it looks like without the Blues making any offseason trades. I'm not sure Snuggerud and Dean will be ready, but if they are not they can be replaced with AHL/NHL tweeners like Gaudette while they prepare in the AHL. Hopefully it won't take too long.

Pinto is the best solution for the 2C problem. Dvorsky is still just 18 years old so he should get another full year before he joins the Blues.

So, this the the team that Army takes into the NHL entry draft and evaluates hockey trades. Who knows what is available.

Free Agent Signings

RESERVE LIST		YEARS	CAP HIT
Snuggerud, Jimmy		3	$900,000

RFA		YEARS	CAP HIT
Perunovich, Scott		2	$1,250,000
Pinto, Shane		4	$4,000,000

OTT would match. And then if wise, bide their time and retaliate.

It's a gamble on Pinto.... but I don't mind the effort. Bet they'd match though

Ottawa probably has to pay Pinto that anyway - they match fairly easily

In that case it's Stephenson.

I like Stevenson too but I feel like he’ll get paid fairly handsomely, especially if Vegas does well in the playoffs again and he could be one of those FA who got paid and then slides. Almost like the 2016 FA class.

He has not had the best walk year, but there are not many Cs capable of playing 2nd line available. Hard to tell how his contract will go at this time.
