After the display of Chiarot and Tampa’s D core, most teams are going to want to copy the formula of big D, so Seattle will take a chance on Chiarot and have themselves a very solid D core with their other picks as well. Allen is definitely still a possibility but recency bias would point towards Chiarot and other big name goalies could be available (Holtby, Andersen).

As far as the Schwartz signing goes, this could easily be Hoffman or duclair as well. Just needs to be someone who consistently puts themselves in a good position to score. That should set up KK nicely to finally have a big season from a points production perspective. I sided with Schwartz as we know Bergie loves to take in cup winners for experience’s sake and he’s got familiarity with Edmundson (and maybe still Allen as well).

Lastly, I know I’m going to get roasted for the Jones trade, but the deal won’t be huge, as he’s an expiring UFA and unless the sides can work out a long term extension prior to the deal. Also, the Drouin thing is tough bc if he is still not ready to play next season, the deal falls apart and he would be buried on LTIR for next season as well. Would also hate to ship off a guy further away from home that isn’t doing well mentally.
