This could be a steal of a deal. Diaz had 14 points in 23 games in 2012-13. Could turn into a great offensive defenseman if we're lucky. Maybe Rafalski-esque? I know, I'm dreaming
Stupid idea. The last thing we need is him playing against a ton of plugs and getting injured. If we had to demote him to motivate him, I'd say at most, put him down 2nd line.
It would depend on the return, but I am extremely hesitant to give Horvat away already without knowing how good he'll get. The last thing we need is another Neely situation.
Schroeder will have a good opportunity to show of his playmaking skill now with Hank out for a few games. Based on he previous few games, his vision is incredible, much like a lot of stars in the league, including Henrik and Daniel.
Also, it's worth noting, the last time (I think) one of our coaches got suspended (Harry Neale), we went on a tear and went to the finals, even after a relatively crappy season.
