You know there is a Seattle option for expansion draft right?

I think you are out to lunch on this. I think Beagle sits, put Graovac on 4th line centre. Don't resign Edler or Sutter.
Miller - Petterson - Boeser
Hoglander - Horvat - Podkolzin
Pearson - Lind - Highmore
Motte - Graovac - MacEwan
----- (Call Ups/Injury reserves) -----
Gadjovic - Beagle - Hawyrluk

I like Hamonic but look for someone other than Hamonic if available. I like Joulevi and see him improving, but if we can trade him in a package for a strong RD..do it. (i.e., Cal Foote or Cernak, Tanev, or ?) or sign someone like Ceci, Montour, etc.
Then you could shuffle Schmidt over to his dominant side.

Hughes - Hamonic (??)
Schmidt - Trade / Sign (??)
Rathbone - Myers

Schmidt is horrible on the left and has played right most of his professional career.

Miller has been vocal about playing center. I expect EP-Miller-Horvat as the teams centres next year.

In order to succeed this team requires 3 consistent scoring lines. 3L centred by Sutter or Lind doesn’t accomplish this.

Seattle will not take Holtby

I didn't know that about Miller. I would love to see him at Centre. I think that leaves the problem of EP in the faceoff circle (he needs work).

100%. but all signs point to him consistently want to learn and get better, i expect he will be ok at faceoffs
