2019

Dach ain’t making the team, he’s no where near ready. Plus, perlini getting a second is very very unlikely.

I feel like we have a lot of middle 6 forwards. i think Bowman is hoping to show them off during camp, and once other teams see they are thin i this area, they will come to bowman to trade. here is my list of middle 6 forwards:
nylander, caggiula, kampf,perlini, smith, carpenter,kubalik,shaw, kurashev, sikura, quinneville, saarela, dach

that's 12 potential. i know a few will be sent to Rockford. i think we may trade a few for picks, kinda thin for next draft. or do you like the abundance of options to drive up competition?

any thoughts?

I think your list is fair, but I’d take a few off, notably smith, kampf, and Carpenter. Those are just good depth pieces. Nylander be another one id take out, cuz I still haven’t seen anything in prospect camp or workouts that convince me of him. Otherwise, I kinda like it your take on using camp to show em off. May give us some trade capital for the draft next year.

thanks. that is what i was going for. i cant remember a lot of trades going on during pre-season in years past. but maybe early season some teams sniff around.
