Its a very good draft year, so if anyone is thinking about retooling their team and actively “not competing” this year, let me know. The following are players i’m willing to discuss – the major needs are at defense, where depth is needed. But I will consider any and all options.
I’m even providing currently adjusted projected pts total based on my highly scientific (potentially useless) methodology.
player – pos – sal – gp forecast / pts forecast (total)
Bobrovsky – G – 4.4M – 50/70 – need a #1 goalie back
Binnington – G – 2.8M – 50/72 – need a #1 goalie back
Comrie – G – G – 1.5M – 49/52 – need a 1A goalie back
Scheifele – F – 4.6M – 82/82
Pavelski – F – 3.2M – 82/69
Schenn – F – 3.9M – 82/68
Thompson – F – 2.1M – 82/64
Marchessault – F – 3.5M – 82/69
Kessel – F – 3.1M – 82/46
Hagel – F – 1.1M – 82/48
Vatrano – F – 1.9M – 82/44
Labanc – F – 1.2M – 81/38
Johnston – F – 1.4M – 67/37 – could get sent down, but long-term prospect upside is very good
Chytil – F – 1.4M – 67/34
Kakko – F – 1.4M – 72/43
Vrana – F – 3.1M – 36/28 – in nhlpa program, could be a good stash for coming season
Sergachev – D – 1.8M – 82/46
Brannstrom – D – 1.0M – 82/33
Schneider – D – 1.1M – 75/22
Kylington – D – 0.9M – 60/30
Joseph – D – 0.7M – 65/27
Spence – D – 1.4M – 40/22 – depends on call-up, currently making AHL his bitch
