This is basically exactly what I believe the team will look next year. Love the dreiger and comrie signings for the battle for the backup spot as well as hakanpää. Will be more interesting to see what the 2025-2026 roster will look like.

Agreed! 2025-26 will obviously have a lot more turn over and I'm expecting guys like McGroarty, Lambert, Chibrikov & Rashevsky to be there full time.

A lot depends on ehlers and then Connor trades or extensions going forward. I wonder if there is a predraft trade of some sort that brings a 1st possibly with a rhd dman that is in the mix and has some team control, possibly a center prospect with something similar to compete for 2c, obviously depending on monahan also. Looking like a blockbuster a brewing, don’t mind Stanley and heinola as 6/7, but could use a rhd dman to join the fray.

I think this (23-24) is Ehlers last season in Winnipeg, he'll get traded in the summer but for what I have no idea, it sucks but I just don't think Bones likes him or that he's overly happy with his role.

I think Schmidt will get bought out and maybe Iafallo will get moved too.

I'm really surprised DeMelo hasn't been extended already, thought there was gonna be an announcement in February, wonder whats going on with that situation.

I figure Monahan gets an extension, maybe Toffoli too but could more likely see him walking to free agency, Lambert graduates to 2RW, Perfetti gets a bridge deal.
