Laine will still cost a 1 late 1st plus and not opposed to moving the 2024 or 2025 late 1st plus perhaps a solid LHD prospect since we have too many. However, if Nylander or Reinhardt make it to free agency, we would be better off with one of those guys.
Kyle O for $4M, I wouldn't touch him at this point for $2.5M and that's assuming we retain half and flip him at the TDL.
Dach is not going to be a first liner, no way. He's putting up some points in the AHL but his game won't translate to play with Bedard. Dach is likely a solid 3rd liner center. AA shouldn't be a center, even though there has been some brief experiments with him at C. Hardman and Guttman are the type of 4th line players you want, both are grinders. Nazar may come up, but i would stick with Reichel on the wing with Bedard. The reichel, bedard and kurashev line is looking pretty good. Phillips has looked good playing on the right side D, and Allan as well. It wouldn't surprise me to see one of them as the RHD player next season.
The million dollar question is if they land Celebrini or Eaiserman in the draft. If they do, you can bet they will be in the top 6 next season as well.
