Thread: Lines out of camp 3 with assumed IRs
Trashed is the plan for another year or two.
Hertl and Cooch are staying unless they ask to leave like Burns and EK65 did. Big money and long term to move.
Barabanov problably stays and extended unless they get a 2nd at TDL.
Duclair, Grandlund, Rutta & Hoffman are TDL moves.
Zadina is a question mark on keeping, trading or just letting him go after the season.
Vlasic wont be bought out until after next year if ever. They don't need the cap savings yet and probably don't want the cap hit in 3-4 years buying him out.

This is needed and if our young guys turn into expected players they have a good future starting in 25/26. They have some decent assets in house.
Eklund, Bystedt, Smith, Musty, Havelid, Muk, Thrun, Nikita, Larouke and a lot of bottom 6 guys to go along with a top 4 (Sharks), approx. 13th-18th (Pens) and 29th+ (Devils) first round picks this year along with the TDL picks. They are moving in the right direction and shed a lot cap of the books compared to where they were just 1-year ago. Should have started 2-years ago and moved Hertl at TDL.

Thread: lines coming out of camp
I agree with Knyshov I really like the guy and think he has a future in the league. He might be road blocked though with the Sharks. Maybe he has a good camp and him and Thrun are the 6-7 D with MacD starting with the Cuda. I just kept coming back to the PP and MacD.
If Thruns plays well and has shown signs of emprovment he gets the nod because hes a GMMG guy and may have a hand shake agreement for playing time when signed. This is Thruns contract year so I think he gets every opp available which means Knyshov could be out/down.

My biggest fear is that they are better than last year. Not much but get a pick from 5-9 instead of 1-4. The D will be better on D. Of course worse on O and they have better forwards overall. If they are better hopefully that means TDL moves with good returns.
