Future is bright
At C, a 1/2 punch of Celebrini and Smith, followed by Bystedt as 3rd line C
At wing, Musty, Eklund, Chernyshov.
On D, Dickenson and Mukh, as well as a few others
And now Askarov.
With our pick this year, should be a right hand D. Logan Hensler or Charlie Trethaway
I am almost ready to ask for San Jose to build a statue for Mike Grier.
In 2 years he managed to:
Trade Karlsson's almost unmoveable 11.5 million dollar contract with 4 years remaining on it and only retain 1.5 million AND get a high 1st rounder for it, which he turned into a #1 D Draft pick Sam Dickenson
Traded Burns contract with 3 years remaining on it.
Traded Hertl's contract with 6 years remaining on it after his 4th knee surgery And got a 1st and a first round prospect in Edstrom, then flipped them both for the #1 goalie of the future in Askarov
Traded Timo Meier as a rental who had a minimum qualifying offer of 10m dollars and got Shakir Mukhamadullin a Dman who went 1st round, Zetterlund and a 2nd ,Which turned into Leo Wallenius, a highly touted D prospect.
