fast is going to get more
if you trade for cirelli than why keep storme? they aren't going to be able to re-sign him. having three 3rd pairing LD isn't helping anything.
Strome is only there for 1 year, Cirelli can learn from him and Zib in the mean time and then take over the 2C role the following year. I have high hopes for Morgan Barron and think he can slot into the 3C role in 2021. The other option is to go after someone like Barbashev for 3C and let Strome walk.
The LD situation is essentially for 1 year because I fully expect Miller and Robertson to be ready to go. Lindgren might be a 3rd pairing guy but he played well with Fox, so you can leave that alone. Hajek is servicable, but also we might see Miller and or Robertson make an appearance in the NHL along side Trouba. Beaulieu is there to be a veteran guy with toughness, but obviously not really needed. The way its panning out Staal will probably rotate in and out of the lineup as a scratch. By the time the year is over we might see Robertson, Miller and Lindgren on the LD, which to be honest, could be worse considering the high potential.
Personally, I just want to see more grit on the team. When guys play us I want them to think, damn, and know that touching one of our top guys means someones gonna get their head taken off.
