Next season

I think edmonton protects Archibald. He's the heart and soul of the bottom 6.

Why would the Canucks take Neal when we can just LTIR Ferland?!

Oilers don’t let archibald go they would protect him.

Not a fan of the hall signing we could sign a solid LW for 4-5 mil and save some cap space to bolster the bottom 6 a bit or get a solid top 4 dman.

Don’t see Freddy leaving Toronto unless it’s a major overpay. If you’re trading koskinen away might as well bring back another goalie say maybe kuemper. Or we could just ride out his last year rather than having to pay in picks and prospects to get rid of him. So if we are going to trade him we trade for another goalie or, we keep him for his last year and sign a 1B goalie instead of a backup like a drieger, halak, raanta, somebody along those lines.

Definitely, as of today I'd protect him over Kahun, although even with RNH signed I think Archie is my 6th protection on fwd and either Kahun or Benson the 7th protected. But regardless, Archie is definitely among the top 7F protection list.

I'm not sure where Benson fits. He doesn't have good speed or forechecking so I don't know if he can crack the bottom 6.
