I think Olofsson gets a spot next year, Asplund the following year. Not quite sold on Nylander yet, not quite sure what to make of him. He has spurts of good games then falls asleep. - mhp
Yeah, I mean it's always possible Nylander or someone is involved in a trade to add the above forwards as well. Who knows. |

I would imagine the 13 spots go like this next year
9
23
53
37
72
trade or FA
trade or FA
21 (unless a miracle trade)
22
28
17 (unless a trade)
CJ Smith
Nylander
Also have Asplund and Olofsson trying to get a spot.
I just don't see them here unless maybe 21 is moved out - sbroads24
I have zero problem with a bottom 4 forwards for the 4th line of Larsson, Zemgus, Wilson, and Erod for next year. That said, one of them will be the odd man out and it might be Zemgus due his prospective pay alone. |

If this is for a 4th line role it's clear cut 22,28. I can't believe it either but they've been great defensively and have occasionally chipped in. |

He's been inches away from multiple goals and assists in the last few games as well.
It just really amazes me because If I was JB he would have been Rochester bound after the first 10 games. Now he's been one of our better players most nights.
Honestly, I think the Blues end up right on the outside when all is said and done and we get a pick in the 10-15 range. Which is great in this draft.
The trade is a home run. It gives us flexibility and a good playuer who's 21, plus the two picks - sbroads24
But. But. But berglund isnt playing here anymore.

Yeah, always liked him.
A lot of the fancy stat people think he should be a Selke candidate this year too. - sbroads24
He's tremendous defensively and a point producing machine. He's in the $8M-$9M range.
Can a team have a $27M first line that's signed for more than half a decade? |

I don't hate either 71 or Wilson, but if both are here I'd be pretty surprised.
The organization and especially PH seems to really like ZG.

Not so sure on Zemgus with what his pay rate might be. When you're mainly a 4th liner, your cap hit really matters, and he's over $1.5M already. |

My guess for the forward group next year
Eichel
Mitts
Skinny
Reinhart
Tage
Sobotka
Sheary
Lockport kid
Girgs
ERod
Wilson
FA (Stone, Nyquist, Silfverberg)
Olofsson/Smith
Osmosis
That's 14 so I have to think a trade is gotta happen at some point. If Okposo and Wilson are still here, it does give Olofsson and Smith more time to develop in Rochester. |

How much are they going to like him in a 4th line role if he asks for $2M?
I could definitely see the 4th line being Larsson, Wilson, and Erod next year. Basically, keep the 3 cheapest guys. |

Stone feels like a pipe dream but he would be a dynamite fit in so many ways. |

Honestly not sure. I can see it both ways.
I still hold the belief that Girgs still has a little more value than perceived because he was a former 1st rounder and has had moderate success during a season. Maybe he's part of a package to land a player. |

E-Rod
Larry

Wilson
Sobotka (due to his contract)
In that order
Actually I like the top 3 to be my 4th line next season |
