Draft best D-man available at 14 and Joshua Ravensbergen (only 1st Round projected goalie prospect) at 20 if available.

Or trade 'em both.

I think this draft will be like so many where we've had multiple 1st rndrs, and cap space, and stated how the picks are up for trade, and we'll weaponize the cap space.
Then it all just goes like normal, take the picks and wait for 3-4,or more, years. Much ado about nothing !!
I keep hoping for a big trade bringing in a top-6 forward, and/or top-4 blue liner that will put this team over the top !!
We have the $$$, picks, and prospects to put packages together.
Since Provorov and Fabbro haven't signed, I'm pretty confident GMDW is looking at the available D (Noah Dobson??), who would fit and putting a package together.
A new forward name that seems to be floating around is Jordan Kyrou. His no-trade clause kicks in on July 1, and GM Bill Armstrong seems to think they have the player to take his place - Snuggerud. Also, Kyrou (27 y.o) has a $8.125MM AAV contract through '30-31. He would be nice - as would Jason Robertson, if he's still available. We'll see in the next couple of days.

Kevin,

Personally I prefer to resign Provorov, they are pretty close to the same player. But, your man is cheaper in 2025-26 than our man is.

And the first domino has fallen: Tarasov to the Panthers for a 5th round pick. Welcome to the crease full time Jet Greaves.
