Chevy awake and initiating this early in the process, something screams step 1 of a possible few step off-season, possibly even take a swing at Barrie or package something for bertuzzi, before another scrap with copp.

Feeling much better after the Dillon trade and Stastny resigning.

My take on the pairings is they'll be this:

Morrissey-DeMelo
Dillon-Pionk
Stanley-Beaulieu

Idk who's the #7dman yet, I think Niku gets waived and claimed or he's okay with going to the Moose cause he has a kid in Winnipeg or mutual termination and he goes home to Finland.

Heinola and Samberg start with the Moose, they get the call if injuries hit.

I mean, chevy isn’t done and maybe Stanley is on the move for a big rd? But damn, good job chevy on this one. Can we just say that. He got a guy who can actually handle top pair minutes defensively. We’ve needed that for over a year. And he didn’t massively overpay.

As for heinola starting with the moose, I don’t see it. Heinola will be on the roster. The jets aren’t going to waste a year of his ELC, which is pretty much the only reason he wasn’t playing this year. Let’s not forget that to be completely honest, heinola won that “audition” at the end of the year between Stanley, benn, and him, but his elc got in the way.

Therefore, I think there may be one more move in store. Maybe a savard signing? Move for severson or Manson? Many things chevy can still do. Only time will tell
