Center in the prospect pool, we still need another top 6 guy when Rossi is full time top 6. I’m still holding out that Glass gets moved or we make a cheap run at Strome.
This 100%, this is why we need someone to hold down the fort until Rossi is ready to take over as 1C. I personally don't like either Strome for the role.
Our best options post draft now are Danault, Stepan, or Stastny. And Stastny is already off the board since he's headed back to Winnipeg.
Unless GMBG can work a miracle and land us Cirelli than those two are our best options. Both can be acquired as long as Dumba is moved out and have one year left on their contracts. Of the two I'd say Danault is our best option as he's both better and cheaper than Stepan.
When Dumba is moved, if he went for a winger I wouldn't be opposed to it now given our newfound center prospect depth and if we could land Danault without giving up Dumba in the process. I would try and move him for a cheaper player, good center prospect like Krebs/Glass-Frost, and a 1st rounder in next years draft. PHI for Ghost, Frost, and their 1st seems the most ideal.
Ghost is $2M cheaper than Dumba, could revive his career playing next to Brodin, can stop-gap for Addison until he's ready, and gives us added flexibility in dealing with the ED. 4-4-1 route, we can protect Soucy. 7-3-1 route both Ghost and Soucy get exposed and we keep whoever isn't taken further insulating us ontop of our new found goalie flexibility.
Frost gives us yet another center prospect with top six potential. Between one of Khovanov, Khusnutdinov, and Frost, there's a good chance one of the three hits as a legitimate 2C behind Rossi as our future 1C.
The more 1st's we have next year the better.
