Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

*Lines are more indicative of the long term

Draft Levshunov:
Assuming we don’t land #1OA, I like Levshunov for ANA. I have more optimism in us finding a top 6 winger in FA, trade, or later draft pick. #1RD prospects are just so hard to come by. A top pair of Mintyukov and Levshunov could be nasty long term

Sign or trade for a top 6 forward:
Pipe dream would be Killorn recruiting Stamkos, but RW would probably be the better fit

Re-sign Carrick as 4C:
Love this dude and his work ethic. Let the kids see that a guy who plays with this much heart sticks around

Re-sign Lundestrom to a 1 year prove it deal at 3C/LW:
Give him another year off the big injury to show what he can contribute. I think he tops out on the 3rd line, but could be very solid there.

Re-sign Leason as 4RW:
He’s shown a lot of growth this year. More consistency would be great, but hell he’s a 4RW

Prospects not shown that I have optimism for:
Sidorov: Awesome D+1 season so far, potential middle 6 winger in 2-3 years
Dionicio: Impressed from what I saw at WJC
Warren: I can see him as a big defensive partner for Zellweger after a few more years of development
Hinds: Like the defense-first style of play at LD. Needs to fill out his 6’3 frame and somehow climb a very deep LD pipeline though
Pitre: love his style of play, but would like to see a bigger bump in production year-on-year
Terrance: admittedly haven’t seen him play this year, but liked his WJC last year and production this season
