Considering we're icing a lineup right now that includes Christiansen, Gaunce, Meyer, Angle, Pyyhtia, and Malatesta...I'd take this.

It's become clear Elvis needs to go, if he's not traded it's got to be a buyout. I don't think this team is wildly far off, though, there's just so many young/new pieces that need to gel.

Must-go:
Provorov, Elvis

Can stay if they're not regulars in the lineup:
Olivier, Boqvist, Bean

People I'd like to see back in a bottom-6 role:
Nylander, Texier

NHL musts:
Jiricek, Johnson, Chinakhov

Roster locks:
Gaudreau, Laine, Jenner, Fantilli, Sillinger, Marchenko, Voronkov, Kuraly, Werenski, Severson, Gudbranson, Tarasov

If everyone is healthy, that leaves holes at:
Goalie (starter or backup, probably a vet), 2LD, 3LD...and that's really it.

The wings may need a shakeup, but who of Laine, Gaudreau, Marchenko, Chinakhov, Jenner/Voronkov, Texier, Nylander, and Johnson do we ship out then?

Thread: Opening night
I really appreciate Voronkov's rugged style of play and see great potential in him. However, I believe it's important for fans to temper their expectations regarding his immediate impact. It's my belief that he will require some time to adjust to the new environment.

Ideally, Voronkov should spend a few months in Cleveland to acclimate to the North American style of play. When he eventually gets called up to the main team, starting on the fourth line is likely the best approach to ease him into the lineup. This will provide a valuable testing ground for his skating ability.

Before he can move up in the lineup or take on a center ice role, Voronkov will need to demonstrate his ability to anticipate plays and position himself correctly without the puck. This will be a crucial step in his development.

Thread: Robertson - Kent Johnson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>You don’t get players like Robertson without dipping into your off limits prospects</div></div>

You ain't wrong. I'd be more inclined to pass then.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlevinKalevra</b></div><div>Robertson doesn’t want a bridge deal. I don’t see him wanting one in a different city either</div></div>

Cause to your point, he ain't gonna be happy with a trade to a team that's just going to offer him what DAL is offering him. JRob would be fantastic, but I don't think he is the difference in turning CBJ into a competitor, particularly if we're going to hand him the kind of long-term money he wants; and if I'm making a trade to ship out my top kids, it's for a trade that'll do that.

For CBJ, that'd need to be for a bona-fide 1C or something.
