If we started the year with this roster I'd be more then happy, swapping Brannstrom with Sanderson.

Addition by subtraction by getting rid of Zaitsev, and the money looks close on Norris and Giroux. I wouldn't be upset if they gave Formenton and Joseph a couple more years if it's reasonable $$. I think Lassi will be ready to make the step next season.

I really liked Kastelic's and Kelly's game towards the end of the season, that should be a more then capable 4th line.

If would assume Sanderson will be in place of Brannstrom, dropping Branny on the depth chart to 3rd pair but I could see him being dealt this summer. He doesn't seem to have a fit within the roster. I wouldn't want him with Lassi as I think Lassi needs an experienced veteran like Holden to help him out. Not sure where he fits to be honest.

My hope is they don't overspend for Fiala, I really wasn't impressed by his playoff performance and signing a guy after a career year is always risky.

Sanderson

I understand that he didn't perform in the playoffs, but I think we still need him to reach the playoffs in the first place so that if he doesn't perform well then we have the conversation but we'd have reached the playoffs which is the current goal.
Also we gotta remember, he is still 25 years old, same age as Chabot, he still got time to improve.

Del Zotto back in a Ducks jersey just makes sense.
Dude is in Newport Beach every offseason and is always with the Ducks guys

He may be ready. But I bet he starts in the AHL next season.

There’s probably 0 chance he plays in the AHL. Just like pinto this year started in the NHL
