Dmen Army should check into

No to all.

Heh. Didn't you suggest paying Tyler Myers 5M to play 3RD?

Yep. Still would if applicable.

Svozil is realistically another year away, if not two. He’s a got third pair projection with upside. True, he will be blocked in Columbus behind Werenski and Mateychuk, but unless he’s part of a package for an upgrade elsewhere on the roster, I don’t know that I see them moving him. He’s a mid-tier prospect for now.

My hope is he looks good in a callup post-deadline 2025 after we've moved Provorov/whatever other short-term LD we have signed, and we can pencil in Werenski-Mateychuk-Svozil as the long-term, stable left side. A former 3rd-rounder who's still very young and already developing into what should be an NHL-level 3LD should probably fetch another 3rd as a return, but if that's the case, Columbus just keeps him.
