I'm looking at PuckPedia for my UFA/RFA info. Going in Alphabetical by section(Fwd, Def, Goal). Not getting into the AHL players.
UFA's
Luke Kunin - Possible resign for Checking Line depth
Sean Kuraly - Let him walk
Christian Fischer - Let him walk
Justin Danforth - Resign for bottom 6 depth
James Van Riemsdyk - One more season, they were better with him in the lineup
Kevin Labanc - Let him Walk
Ivan Provorov - Hope they resign
Dante Fabbro - Must resign and he'd be crazy to leave
Jack Johnson - Move to Front Office/Staff/Coaching
RFA's
Dmitri Voronkov - Resign
Jordan Harris - Qualify/Resign, but ends up in CLE
Daniil Tarasov - Qualify for purposes of trading his rights
The Line Up
TBD(Trade) - Monny - Marchy
JVR - Fantilli - KJ
Vronkov - Boone - Oliver
ZAR - Silly - Danforth
Ski - Fabbro
Provo - TBD(Trade)
Matey - Guddy/Christiansen
Elvis & Jet in Tandem
Line Up Notes:
I like JVR with the two young guys, but if they get a 2nd line winger in trade, instead of a 1st, then I can see Boone staying at LW1 and JVR moving to the 3rd line with Vronkov at Center.
I think Brindley and LDBB will be fighting for spots with ZAR, Danforth, and Kunin. I think Christiansen will have a spot, he was steady until he was injured, and could look good as the defense to Matey's offense on the 3rd pairing.
I am thinking they keep Elvis and buyout Severson. I think Elvis had a bounce-back season, overall, and I'd like to see what he can do with a better defense in front of him.
I have more thoughts roaming around my brain, but this is long enough of a post as it is. I'll respond to everyone's thoughts as they come.
