Feel bad for AA. I think he can hang in the NHL, but unless we move Sandin or someone gets hurt for an extended time it seems like he’s not going to crack the top 4 here. Even getting consistent 3rd pair minutes looks tough. This will definitely be one of the situations to watch throughout preseason.
right-sized
If he looks at least as good as TVR in training camp, we need to start him and extend him. He still has a lot of room to grow while TVR is 33. Bear is a good 7th man.
TVR having two years left on his contract makes it a bit tough to flip, but I could still see a Cup contender offering a low pick since he’s a quality depth veteran.
