Thread: Buras In now what
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WellIDK</b></div><div>Hopefully they go after a left wing to play on the 2nd line (like Ehlers, Gusev). I know Sakic said that they felt comfortable with Jost playing 2C the upcoming season, and that he'll likely move to the wing after adding Kadri. But I think it's best if Jost can play centre for his development, so 3C makes sense imo.

Kadri had his best seasons playing with Marner as 2C. With Jost and Bura on the wing, you have 2 pretty unproven players with Kadri, which probably result in disappointing production from the 2nd line. (I know Gusev hasn't proven himself at the NHL too, but I think he'll likely has a better chance at reaching 50 points next season.)

Barberio won't be traded until later this season. I expect Graves to start at the Eagles (signed a 2-way contract for a reason). Either Byram or Rosen will start on that 3rd pair with Connauton or Barberio because two unproven players is a bit too risky. Barberio and/or Connauton will likely be traded when Cole is back Byram/Rosen have proven themselves in the NHL and Graves will be recalled</div></div>

Totally agree, what do you think it takes to land either?
