Next Year - Keep Building

Kravtsov is gone he ain’t coming back😂. Give Hronek less money. Maybe like 5x5.5M. Let Studnicka and Lafferty walk as free agent and leave a spot for Aman. Don’t trade away Garland.

I look at it as replacements. Hoglander to me is perfect to replace Garland. Cheaper and can produce just as much. Garland has to go. Cap reasons.
Podkolzin will replace DiGuissepe as well in a few years.

Bains/Raty will replace or fill in for guys like Lafferty/Bleuger/Suter. Need cheap players for a few years.

Yes, Kravtsov can go. However if he does come back and is ready you have a cheap option again. It’s cost effective.
Sure, Studnicka can go but cheap price.

Hronek will get in the 6’s. I would like 8 x 5.5 ideally. I am okay with it as he is a top 4 and has a great skill set. Plus, he is going to get 6 to 8 years.

Hronek is trending north of 7. There is basically no world where he is in the 5s. And Lafferty has been a revelation in the bottom 6. Absolutely wanna keep that guy. Especially if Aman is your backup plan.

Willander is gonna need a place to play. This team needs a LD on long term contract. And a RD on short term.
