Next Year

Can't see Grz getting that contract with Lohrei pushing him for a job and Wotherspoon looking pretty reliable on the third pair. I think he's gone unless he's willing to return on the cheap

They could bring him back on a cheap deal as a 7th dman, would be good depth. Also, I'm not sold on Lohrei playing 82 games next year. The kid has looked great but he struggles on his pivots and give a lot of odd rushes to the opposing team. Would be good to have another Dman that can step-up and play top 4 minutes like Gryz.

Can't see why Heinen would be taking a paycut. he's been awesome. 2x2.5 makes sense.



this is returning on the cheap. it makes a lot of sense. you can't just have 6 NHL d men rostered and expect success.

1. I could see Heinen signing that contract, a 3 year at 2.25M, or a one year at a premium in excess of $3M depending on the flexibility we want.

2. I’d love Grz or an Ian Cole type as an insurance policy 6/7 for the right price

that's not what grzelcyk is.
