<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>I don't see a scenario where <em><strong>both </strong></em>Turris and Bonino are traded (or bought-out in Turris's case) - I think its an either/or situation. I would be mostly OK with this roster though. I think they'll pick up a 3rd pairing defenseman through trade or free agency and keep one of Bonino/Turris, but the rest makes sense.

- add a 2nd line player via trade or free agency --- ✓✓
- inject the roster with some youth with Tolvanen, Tomasino, Trenin, Carrier, and Davies (I think Pitlick is in the AHL next year) --- ✓✓
- free up some cap space and center ice by trading/buying-out Turris or Bonino -- ✓X (only one leaves)
- add a 3rd pairing defenseman through trade or free agency --- XX

For better or worse, I think that is how Poile will tackle this off-season.</div></div>

We shall see! I agree with your checklist for the most part. However, I think Sissons is a big part of the youth movement. His TOI dipped when Duchene came in last year and he got knocked further down the totem pole despite the long-term deal. I think he deserves a real shot to move up the depth chart. Bonino AND Turris get in the way of that happening. I want to see Sissons get a shot at establishing himself as our 3rd line center, or even moving up to help shore up 2nd line. You don’t sign a guy for 7 years just to pigeon-hole him in on the 4th line.

Agree that we should get a little veteran depth on Defense, although I’m not as deadest on burying Tinordi back in the AHL as most others are. I like Nutivaara with Columbus since they have a plethora and need to make room for RFAs.

For the record, I hate that Austin Watson is in this lineup. Don’t know what we can do with him, so I hope we do get a little 4th line help too. Pitlick ain’t ready yet for sure.
