As far as 3C goes….
I think Krebs gets first shot at it. He’s been up here playing our defensive center role, but now that Mitts has been traded it opens up a hole for him to show off his offensive skills a bit more.
Obviously, we’d have to bring in a replacement for that defensive center spot though. If we don’t do this, then Krebs goes back to that role & Kulich likely gets first shot at 3C
He’s had 2 really good years in Rochester, so it makes sense to give him a chance over Savoie.
And the good thing is that all these guys can play the wing too, so we have some nice versatility there to swap guys around a bit.
In goal, Levi could be the 1b to UPL, or if we bring in a Vet for that role then we can let Levi be the unquestioned #1 in the AHL & let him develop without rushing him.
Tough to say which way we go though- I’d guess it’s 50/50
DeMelo & Hakanpaa are 2 guys i think fans would like a lot here, bc they’d bring added toughness that we lack
BUT
Unless we get rid of Clifton, we probably only have room for 1 of them
Roy could also be a target for a top4 RD in UFA
