Lines would probably look like
Kuz - Pete - Mikheyev
Pearson/Hogs - Miller - Boeser
Podz/Trenin - Suter - Garland
Joshua - Blueger - Trenin/Podz
Trenin would definitely make us a grittier team for sure.
I don't like losing Karlsson plus a 4th, but this seems like the type of deal we might have to make. A deal that looks like a loss initially, but gets us under the cap and has some benefit long term.
imo a contract will be hammered out before the regular season. If it was me, it's awfully risky to risk injury with as much guaranteed money on the table available. This is just me guessing, but a contract is definitely going to be 6-8 years at 10.5-11 per. Hard to walk away from that.
Forgot about that. Kind of a win/win situation for the big club. If Aman shows improvement we have a solid 4th line contributor, if he doesn't we gain a solid player on the farm.
Alvin's done an excellent job with what he's been given from Benning.
Not only does this signing give us some much needed center depth this year, but secures the 4th line center position next year with a very suitable player, if we decide to be aggressive and upgrade the 3rd line center position next offseason.
This might be the end for Amans tenure this upcoming offseason.
Imo they have a better defensive unit than us. They don't have a franchise altering dman, but overall a better unit.
Hughes- Cole
Soucy - Hronek
Brisebois - Myers
Chabot - Chychrun
Sanderson - Zub
Brannstrom- Hamonic
He still got 21 points in 31 games for the Rags and 4 points in 7 games in the playoffs. He is past his prime, but still a very useful player. Love this signing for them. Sens are a playoff team this year.
I like both players, but for this to limit the risk of the trade, Flyers would definitely have to eat at least 1 million per year on that Sanheim contract.
