Don’t need to blow up the team dynamic, but lots of decisions.
Goaltending: Re-sign Markstrom? Trade DemOk? Keep both and worry about the ED later?
Defense: Obviously Hughes, Edler and Myers are back. Do we upgrade on Stecher? Do we re-sign Tanev? What to do with Fantenberg? Where do Juolevi and Rafferty fit in?
Forwards: EP, Bo, Miller leading the way. Pearson probably returns. Toffoli? Is Boeser our best trade chip? Gaudette, Beagle and Motte are back in bottom six, but others should be closely evaluated: Sutter, Roussel, Virtanen, and by god they need to free up Erikssons cap.
Lots of possible paths forward. Excited to see what happens over the “summer” before next year.
Good run for the young kids. They will come back even hungrier.
