Just a quick 5-minute peak into what the roster could look like in 21-22. Very rough estimate here. Obviously this is without trades and other prospects making the jump, which there will be. I have no idea what kind of contracts to give the '21 RFA's so don't look at those too much. With the addition of Raymond I think that clearly defines even more our need for center, because I still don't necessarily see a cup winning team with a Larkin/Veleno 1-2 punch down the middle. However, if Raymond develops into the type of player I think he can, that definitely elevates a guy like Veleno. Hopefully Veleno can have a good SHL season and really start to find his offense at the pro level. I resigned Nemeth to a 1-year extension, but I guess a guy like McIssac could slide into that role if he's ready. Maybe even Johansson has he's off to a strong start over there now. But realistically both of those guys will probably spend some time in GR before Detroit, and that would make our blue line super young. I also don't really have a good answer for the goalie situation. Will Larsson have a bounce back year this year and get back on track? I have no idea. The future is goal for us is very murky right now. But yea don't take this team or the contracts too seriously, it's basically impossible to predict the lineup this far out. Let me know your thoughts and if any other prospects like Berggren or Tuomisto should be in the conversation.
