Team looks better this way ngl. Simek-Burns and Vlasic-Merkley would be pairings though

you forgot Josh Norris. He could probably be your 2C and you move Hertl to RW in the top 6

No take backs!!!

And Dylan DeMelo who could be in the top 4

Josh Norris is quite a long way away from being a 2C on a good team. If we were tanking it would make sense though

He’s not far away. Give him skilled wingers and he can put up Nick Suzuki numbers or better this year

Just a note that without Martin Jones and the -women who fall in love with serial killers- type allegiance SJ mgmt have to him this trade is a huge W for SJ

Stützle becomes like... Kaiden Guhle or something

That first SJ EK65 team wins 60 games without him

Yeah, had an NHLe in that range last year but I bet he'd struggle in other realms, maybe a good 3C atm

I think he could be a solid 3C in the long run, but I really dont see the top six skill from him yet
