I'd hate to see one of our young D sidelined for an outside acquisition. A depth option leapfrogging Prout would be smart, however.

IMO the depth D-man should only see time if Ras goes down. Already got left depth with Kyle and Vali (assuming they don't get traded).

Should also not be more than 1.5M if we're going to aim to upgrade bottom-6 still. Can't be spending 2+M for a guy to sit in the press box

That's my thinking too. I'd be fine with Valimaki/Kylington/Andersson handling P3 responsibilities.

I read somewhere that Peters does not want to go into playoffs with a rookie pairing at D. I can agree with him. Not a bad thing if they can get a guy better than Prout.

Think Vegas would part with Engelland?

Shouldn't the priority be finding another goaltender, if Rittich gets injured can you really trust Smith. Hopefully Smith will find his game again.

I like the team as is.

The 2 whatifs I have are

Can Neal keep getting better

Can Smith find his mojo

If both happened there would not be a lot of need for moves. The more I think about getting Stone the more I like it. Just do not want to pay the farm to do so.

I really liked Jensen in the Flames 2 games against Detroit and agree he would be an excellent get. The only downside other than acquisition cost is he would be 4th on the depth chart on our right side D.
I don't see Rasmus being traded or sitting in the press box given his age and play this season.

Oh man if Smith comes back from the break feeling healthy we're set.

Emilio Pettersen with 21 points in 22 games as a NCAA rookie.

Well that's a crazy statement. We've been successful all season with rookie pairings, don't think they suddenly forget how to play!

Surprised you didn’t mention McQuaid, Rangers also. He’s been solid, terrific team guy

Right shot but I would be shocked if he's not on the real list of D men Tree is looking at.

McQuaid would be a nice addition. Mean SOB to play against.

But I would give you our 2019 1st, Czarnik, Ruzicka, a conditional 2020 2nd if we make the conference finals & a 2021 1st if we resign Stone(highly unlikely) to rent Mr Stone & give him a chance to play with his brother.
