Quoting: F50marco
Cont. from last post.
-Suzuki on the wing is a mistake. He clearly showed he was good at center and he is a natural center.
-IMHO Habs have to decide between Drouin and Domi. One of them has to go.
-Scandella would have to love the Habs beyond belief to accept an incredible low offer to play for the Habs and then on top of that, one year into his contract have to play on the bottom pairing on his wrong side.
I have Suzuki as C for next year, but habs will need someone to play top 6 RW after Kovy is gone. I also said in the description I would like to trade one of Drouin, Domi, or Tatar to make room for Suzuki and KK to be our top 6 C's. I dont have the foresight to know which player will be traded, I don't think that decision has to be made yet.
I just copied Jordie Benn contract, he took a hometown discount to play in Vancouver, maybe Scandella would do the same. His average icetime last year was 17:35, so he already is playing 3rd pair, and he did play on a pairing with Mete already, not sure which one played on there offside.
Scandella isnt required he is an example of a 3rd pair dman they could get so they dont have to rush Romanov, I would like to see Romanov get lots of icetime in a development league since he has missed out being in the KHL. In Laval Romanov could get PP time, something he wont have in MTL. So I just want to add some depth so we dont have to rush Romanov.
