I love the idea of giving Drouin the opportunity to play with those two. Short leash but I definitely see that there is a chance he finally explodes offensively.

Also I see Poehling taking the jump to 3rd line C by the end of the year.

Lekhonen cant take a paycut under the cba nor should he. His QO has to be the same or more as his last seasons salary. 2.4 mill minimum.

Commenting on Poehling. A lot of fans didn’t watch the Laval games. I watched every game. From the 2nd half Poehling was very impressive. Great skating and very noticeable. He also played LW.

I think he’s on the roster by seasons end. He’s better than people think.

You are wrong but I will correct you
Lehkonen qualifying offer is 2.2M
He could take 2.2M 1 year or take a discount but for longer terms (4 years)
