Trade murphy in the offseason. Jones is a RFA and Mitchell and Katchouk are under contract. Produce your own lineup instead of whining.
Mitchell is not under contract thankfully and should be not qualified IMO if there is no interest for his rights on trade market
And here you go
- Sign C J.T Compher to 3 yr deal ($4M AAV). He like Domi has moved to C this year and found success with it
- Sign RW Evan Rodrigues to 1 yr deal ($2.25M AAV)
- Take on D Mike Reilly final year of contract ($3M cap hit) from B's with Bruins 2025 3rd round pick
- Take on LW/RW Anthony Mantha final year of contract ($5.75M cap hit) from Caps with Caps 2025 2nd + 2024 3rd
- Re-sign Kurashev, Bjork, Anderson, Soderbloom and Regula and put them on NHL roster
Reichel-Compher-Johnson
Mantha-Kurashev-Raddysh
Bjork-Guttman-Rodrigues
Katchouk-Dickinson-Blackwell
(Entwistle, Anderson)
Phillips-Jones
Vlasic-Murphy
Reilly-Regula
(Zaitsev)
Mrazek
Soderblom
Ideally, I would want to move Murphy but doubt there is market for him at this time.
D next year has 3 kids on D who are entering the sink or swim phase with more guys in pipeline set to join organization in coming years. We need to find out if Phillips, Vlasic or Regula are worth the Longterm investment at this point as part of our D
-- If Kane wants to come back of course you sign him and slot him in 1st line RW spot and dont bring in Rodrigues --
