I don’t think there will be many changes next year other than jiricek, mateychuk, and svozil fighting for roster spots. I could potentially see laine, Kent Johnson, and provorov traded in the off-season although laine and Kent’s value are very low at this point. They probably need to find another top 6 center. If they draft lindstrom they might just wait to see who takes that spot in the future between Voronkov, sillinger, or lindstrom. Will be interesting to see who they draft this year. Wouldn’t mind levshunov, lindstrom, or eiserman.

I wonder if Tulsky is the hire, if we don't end up with one or two of Carolina's pending UFA's next season.



Zero percent chance Laine or Johnson is moved this summer. None. Laine because terrible optics to move him after the PAP, and Johnson because he just had surgery for a major injury with a recovery timeline of 6-9 months.

I really, honestly, see Elvis being moved 100% truthfully. If we hold up 50% and a B-tier prospect someone in this league will GLADLY bite at that for a backup/1B player at around 2.7-3 mil

Personally assuming we draft 4-6 I am eyeing Lindstrom but there's a very real threat to that idea. You would have to assume the following:

Chicago: Takes best player available
Sharks: Goes for the best Dman available (they spent so much capital on forwards lately they really need a bluechip D-man to develop now as they are heading into a long rebuild
Ducks: They badly need a sniper and their FO loves their beefy guys. They already have a deep defensive prospect pool

Lindstrom feels like a player that the Ducks will run up to the podium and take without a second thought. Based on this i feel like Levshunov and Lindstrom are gonna be gone by the time we get there.

After this week I am pretty confident we are gonna get that 4 slot until the league "randomly lucks" Arizona into a 1st overall slot (especially as they do need another premium center in their prospect pool) and somehow a Canadian team ends up with the #2 pick (even if pittsburgh enters the top 10 it be dumb to give them the first overall right now...you got to make sure they have those #1 picks for 25/26 ready because you can't have a O6 team have a long rebuild right?) /s

hedger is such a crybaby goof
