my thoughts on next year

Équipe: 2023-24 Blues de St-Louis

Date de création initiale: 23 mars 2023

Publié: 23 mars 2023

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

TOP PROSPECTS
Snuggerud - returns to Minnesota for another year
Bolduc - starts in the AHL, could get a few games in
Dean - starts in the AHL, could get a game or 2 in
Loof - AHL
Robertsson - SHL
all drafted players in 2023 start in their respected junior leagues

OFFENSE
Team is looking for another top 6 player, I see them looking at wing and playing Buch at center all next year. Look for a reclamation project. Mantha and/or Zadina both fit the mold and would be cheap enough to look at imo

DEFENSE
ideally you move Krug, but he will be the hardest guy to move. One of the bigger contracts needs to go. If it is Parayko, they need a good young RHD coming back

GOALIE
Binner and Hofer will be the tandem, this is the easiest prediction

DRAFT DAY
at this point I would use the picks for prospects (unless someone intriguing surfaces)
