This rendition has Guerin casting his eye to 2025 and beyond having seen his best shot of the cap hell period go up in smoke in the series with the Blues.
In the process of that, he learned:
1. Fiala isn’t the guy he wants to pay mega bucks to, an do he can’t anyway given the cap penalties.
2. He has three guys who are pretty similar in Hartman, Gudreau, and to some extent Jost. One had a career year playing with 97 and likely has more value outside the building than he does inside, especially considering his contract. Another rose to be a legitamite 3rd line center. And the other is still quite young and given the trade to acquire him, I think they want to see more. They likely don’t want to tie up three roster spots at C though, especially when they need to continue to try to find a legitimate #1 C. They strategically shop Hartman.
3. D-lo doesn’t do much that Duhaime can’t do with higher upside.
What others learned:
1. MAF knows the monumental challenge that BG will have to field a Cup chasing roster. He goes back to Pittsburgh on one year deal.
2. Cam Talbot seeks a trade - feels like they crapped on him, and they sort of did.
3. Fiala vs. Evason goes two ways and Fiala feels like he is being held back in MN - wants big bucks and dreams of being an even bigger star.
