Ideally what I would do for next season..
Keep
Hubby, Kadri, Mangi, Dube, Pellts, Coronato, Rudzika, Duher.
Anderson, Stone, Weegar
See if there are good trades to be made for youth or picks with
Hanafin, Lindy, Backs, Toffoli, Tanev, Hanafin, Zadorov, Markstrom
Need to get assets for those guys. Would not be upset if Tanev was reupped at like 3x3 or so
Promote Wolf, Zary, Porier next year
So for my base for the team next year
Pelltier - Kadri - Huberdeau
Coro - Rudzika - Mangiapane
Coleman - Zary - Duher
xxx - Dube - xxx
Weegar - Anderson
Tanev - ???
Porier - Stone
Wolf
Vladar
The rest of the roster would be constructed with the returns from the UFA guys assuming we can move them out. Ideally would push people down the lineup, Porier can prolly use another year in the AHL, maybe Zary too.
I don't know what we can get for the UFA guys, but they are all good players that with a year left, can get a good return since they are all on good contracts (other than Marky)
Hanafin - 1st and A prospect, young roster player (Ducks)
Lindy - 1st and A prospect, young roster player (Columbus)
Backs - 2nd and B prospect (NYR, FLA, or CAR)
Toffoli - 1st and young roster player (Maybe a good prospect if retained) (DAL or MIN)
Tanev - 2nd and B prospect (Ducks)
Zadorov - 2nd and B prospect (Leafs)
Markstom - 3rd and no retention, B prospect (Ottawa)
Might be overvaluing the guys a bit, but with the right team I think we can get some good pieces to not only be competitive next year, but have some guys in the pipeline we are actually excited about.
What does everyone think? How far off base am I?
EDIT : Put the teams i think could use the players next to them.
