Brother the only other goaltender prospect we have is Gage Alexander. If Gibson is traded we are going to need Calle Clang

Guessing Drury will be on the table for any big name the canes would target. If he doesn't get moved for a major forward upgrade, it'll probably be a prospect swap. A young LHD makes the most sense to me.

Erikson Ek would be the one then. As I see it there's Dostal>Alexander=Clang>Eriksson Ek>Buteyets

Harris imo is more valuable(nhl production wise) prospects available would be Engstrom, Struble, Trudeau

Calgary is cap strapped and Ruzicka is making below league minimum, odds of him being traded are pretty much non-existent

You're welcome to Erikson Ek, he likely isn't going to get an offer this year. Best case scenario for him to stay with the club is with the Tulsa Oilers.

You can scratch Locmelis off your list. His had a really good year in Sweden J-20 league and finished 4th in points overall. Represented Latvia at the U-20 WJC and then represented Latvia at the World's where he helped them win a bronze medal. He's also heading to UMass next year, so he'll be right in Boston's back yard, which is by design.

agreed. Really interesting prospect. Would be great to watch him at UMass

He looks like a guy who could be a rare mid round find. Next year will be a good test for him playing on a smaller ice surface and the Bruins may have a better idea of what he has. For right now I'd think his potential is a middle 6 center. For me that means likely a 3C, but if he takes a significant jump then a 2C could be possible.

One can only hope. Latvian hockey is getting better, and he might just be at the forefront of it.

Very well could be. Playing for the national team at 19yr old makes me think that Latvia feels like he'll be a key piece for them international for years to come. They likely wanted to get him some exposure early to the World's and I think he did well. Obviously 3pts in 9gp isn't going to turn heads, but he played solid and came though in some big moments.

Sean Durzi = Jordan Harris, maybe plus a middle pick.

Eriksson Ek left the Ducks for Sweden and Buteyets is likely not coming to North America, there’s been little to zero talks of him at all
