I'm okay with Roussel going next year. Ideally I think our bottom six should look something like this

 

Ferland(Big IF) - Gaudette - Virtanen

Motte - Beagle - MacEwen

Yeah, I'm in no way counting on Ferland...

 

Miller, Pettersson, Tiffoli/Boeser

Pearson, Horvat, Tiffoli/Boeser

Sutter, Gaudette, Virtanen

Motte, Beagle, MacEwan

 

And as soon as a Lind/Hoglander/Podkolzin etc looks ready to push their way on to the team, I'd imagine one of Virtanen/Boeser gets moved for a D.

Stecher + for an upgrade or stand pat IMO.

 

Between Benn, a likely returning Tryamkin, Brisebois, Sautner, OJ, Rafferty etc we've got half decent depth.

If we do anything, I think it will be minor.

 

From one standpoint, I wouldn't mind seeing us move Baerstchi, but on the other hand, I won't be disappointed if this gets pushed to summer and he's here for Utica playoff run.

I could see if trying to move Benn, but only if Benning feels confident that he'll have Tryamkin back in a few weeks.

 

I'm sure there are tweaks that we can make to the Canucks and Utica, but they are just that, tweaks. I don't see anything that would upgrade us in a substantial way, past what Benning already did in acquiring Toffoli.

 

My guess is, he'll let this team stand as it is and see how they run.

Cant have Sutter in your bottom six tho. Cap hit is too high and he is injury prone. Not to mention really soft. I know we need some PK'ers tho so maybe we can find a cheaper option? With grit

Or Pearson isn’t resigned 

 

also Sutter is going to be gone after next year the latest

Possible. Still think Benning moves a good, young F for a D at some point.

 

Yes, Sutter will be gone by at least the end of next year.

Sure you can.

 

Injury prone, sure (at least in VAN, before that he was damn near ironman). Not actually soft. 

 

Eventually yes, we'll need a cheaper replacement. Doubt that's next year though.

There's a number of contracts that are unlikely to be here after the summer.


Eriksson

Sutter

Roussel

Leivo

Baertschi

 

It will work out

 

I agree it could work. What I don’t agree with is Virtanen and Boeser will have to be moved. Finally after all these years have a top 6. JB is going to do his best to keep it that way. Pearson and JV can easily play up and down the lineup

I hope JB can get ride of the majority of these without giving away the farm, would be nice to have some cap wiggle room

We don't HAVE to move them. I never stated anything of the sort. You have to give to get and I think once the F depth becomes undeniable, Benning looks long and hard at moving some of it for an under contract, top 4 D. The defensive version of Miller trade.

I don't agree Virtanen moves.  He's slowly becoming a quality bottom 6 player.  his raise this year won't be much and that cost certainty will be a necessity moving forward.

 

Boeser though...I honestly COULD see him moving at some point IF the price is right.  But then the price for a league wide top end RW isn't cheap so who knows.

I can say I firmly believe at least 2 of those contracts are gone by this time next season

Maybe. Unless Raff steps in and Joulevi turns out. We’ve made a coupe trades now. I love both of them but JB is going to have to be diligent going forward. There’s free agency coming as well. 
JV and Bess still have loads of potential. I wouldn’t move them
