I love the idea of Spring and Kostin -
But at the expense of opportunity for Soderblom and Kasper?
That doesn't seem smart. Not for a team that's going to finish 20th at best

Take the Ls.
Finiish 27th.
Get your top 5 pick or whatever

This looks about right, except I think Copp will play on the wing and Compher will play C.

Gostisbehere will probably play 2nd pair RD.

[Fil Zaronek]

Some of the draft picks will probably eventually grow on me but I don't like any of the new guys other than ASP and Kostin

LOL.

Who'd have guessed Yzerman was a quanity, not quality dude.
Hey our 5th line and 4th pairing are among the BEST in the NHL.

[Pop Zeus]

Kasper and maybe Berggren to the AHL?
Zadina traded?

I can see Zadina getting exposed on waivers. With so many teams up against the cap the chances of him getting claimed are low.

We have a ton of forwards now. We have no true 1st line players other than Larkin and he’s really still a 2C on a contender. Apparently we don’t need first line players either since we chose no to draft them.

I wonder if we’re gonna shop Copp. He seems to be very redundant with the Compher signing and both Kasper & Danielson should be ready for 2C and 3C roles before Copp or Compher’s deal is up.

I also wonder if a blockbuster Larkin trade is within the realm of possible now. Obviously we’d be tanking, but running Compher, Copp, Kasper & Veleno down the middle would let us roll 4 lines that have an NHL caliber C. The long term commitment to Compher with our #2 prospect a C and our most recent pick a close to NHL ready C kind of look like either something is in the works or that we just don’t have a plan at all.

Gudas going to Anaheim really indicates that winning wasn’t his top priority. I really wonder if we were in the mix for him at all.

This organization is an absolute shit show right now.

Ras - Larkin - Perron
Kasper - Compher - Raymond
Kubalik - Copp - Sprong
Berggren - Veleno - Fabbri
Zadina

Wallman - Seider
Edvinsson - Ghost
Chiarot - Holl
Maatta - Lindstrom

Husso
Reimer

That’s what it’s looking like to me.

Not as good as last year’s team. Perron, Kubalik & Ghost all deadline trade bait.

That leaves some openings for next year when we celebrate Celebrini.

I think we’re a bottom 5 team right now.
