Talked about this before, but I think we have a great group of forwards - especially once Kane gets back. Despite the lack of production, I think this is the best bottom 6 we've had in decades. With Nuge finally rediscovering his rookie form a decade later (his 12th season??? WHAT???), it easily gives us the best group down the middle in the league. We've got some great wingers in Hyman and Kane (once he comes back), and others that show flashes like Kostin, Holloway, and Foegele.
But that D - that's just not good enough. I think they should pay pretty much whatever the Coyotes want for Chychrun. He can and has played either left or right, is only 24 and still has 2 more years left at a bargain $4.6. Add him, and all of a sudden all the other guys can slide down a spot and I think our D looks a helluva lot better with just that one add.
Other names I've seen - Gavrikov from the Jackets. Don't know much about him - numbers seems mediocre. 27, UFA at year's end. $2.7M.
Apparently Ekholm could be available. He'd likely be our best Dman. He's a bit older at 32, but I think he'll still be very good for the duration of his deal(3 more years after this one). He's not cheap at $6.25M, and no idea about cost to acquire, but certainly an intriguing name.
As for making the money work - NHL GMs are the laziest most uncreative bunch in pro sports. I don't understand why there aren't more 3 way deals. We've finally seen a couple of instances of GMs using a 3rd team to retain on a contract in exchange for assets. As a team in a very clear win now mode, that should be our MO if that is what is needed to fit a salary under the cap. Conversely, when you're a cash rich bottom feeder with cap space, you should aggressively be selling that space to the contenders.
