Quoting: Celtics21
Draisatl is never making it to free agency.
Is there a forward you have in mind? This is our opportunity to get a core star player. Lindholm is a risk, but my feel is Sweeney believes in what he’s going to be in between Pasta and Zacha.
I'm sure he'd be fine, I just don't think he'd be worth the 8 million. If it's shorter term, I'd be up for it, though I wish they'd get a guy who can really make Pasta better instead of trying to replace Bergeron. There's just more offensive Cs available next summer (Drai, Sherangovich, Tavares, Bennet, Bjugstad, Nelson).
This summer, I like adding Reinhart, that'd sure up the R side and we'd be more likely to package Lysell and move him. Hanafin, Skjei, and OEL are all worth signing for the top 4 on D. I also think Duchene, Sprong, Marchessault, and Terevainen all could be good adds to the top 6 whether we resign DeBrusk or not.
