<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pretzelcoatl</b></div><div>Gudas yes, Haula and Graves whatever, Lemieux no. I'd rather bring back Tatar than Graves or Haula, Graves would only benefit us in the short term, and we can do a lot better than Lemieux there.</div></div>

Graves HAS to be back imo. Hopefully Luke Hughes comes in and plays like a top 4 dman right away, but there's a possibility he'll struggle out of the gate. Graves is a proven top 4 dman who we would have playing with either Bahl, Smith, Nemec, or an external option like Gudas on the 3rd pair. Haula is also a very versatile player who is a perfect 3C for our team. He's a good PKer and is great in the faceoff circle. We should be able to bring him back on a 2 year deal between 2-3m per which is well worth it. Lemieux is just a fill in on for the 4th line; I just want to bring in someone with physicality

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I am a big believer in rolling out one rookie at a time on defense. Bahl will be 2nd year guy, so unless Hughes jumps into top-4 from the start, I think we should be extending Graves or adding someone who has a year or two left.

So I think the 7 guys you have above works.

But if no Graves...do we trust Walsh...or a short-term UFA veteran...or do we burn a year of 23-year old Nemec on ELC to force a 19-year old Nemec into lineup?</div></div>

If no Graves, then u have to bring in a veteran UFA. Even if it was a one year deal for a guy like Kulikov, you’re gonna want someone with experience on that third pairing. Graves would be a big miss tho if he’s willing to sign a 4x4 bc he’s a solid dman with size and he’s in his prime rn. Him and Marino would expire at the same time also and by that time, you can move one or both of them when you need to pay Luke/Nemec

Please be gentle</div></div>

Why is Bunting on the 4th line? Has he been struggling?
