I like how we are starting the “new era of orange” with a much more chaotic goalie shit show. The goalie gods seemed to have given us a break in that we seem to have more goalie depth, even without Hart, than we’ve had in a long time. Just sucks that we had to trade depth for any semblance of stability, instead we got more chaos.
Ryan Poehling should get a good look next year. He seems like the type of guy who could be a versatile middle winger. However we really need a high end LW. Farabee is solid but the only way I see him being a a real option as our top left wing is if michkov is as advertised and we have a real skilled center as well.
Center is definitely the next big need. Couturier just seems like a massive question mark. Frost is getting better and better but sure hasn’t proven to be a legitimate high end 2C, let alone 1C. Frost does have elite skill, and I genuinely believe he can be part of a deadly power play. I do think, if we get a real 1C he can be part of a solid 1-2 punch at C. Not the same caliber but similar to CrosbyMalkin or McDavidDrai.
I’m not sold on Drysdale, Bonk is still a prospect, Ristolainen is long term injured and getting up there in age, then it’s pretty bleak at RD. This may be the year to grab a RD.
RW and LD are damn near a log jam, even without Atkinson. LD seems solid enough unless one falls in your lap I wouldn’t be too worried about it. If we can get someone to really throw us value for Brink or Foerster, even Konecny I’d really look at listening to an offer.
I do think that you can build around Tippet Konecny Frost Farabee York and Drysdale though. If Michkov is as advertised you just need one high end center and solid goalkeeping for this team to keep course and develop into something real good. Throw in a nice RD to round things out, we’d be on good pace.
This team has work to do but it’s at least it’s pretty clear what we need.

Had a dream last night that TK had the GWG against the Caps to get us in the playoffs…

I maintain many fans were too hard on Erss. He was thrust into the stater position before he was ready and he has performed admirably! I don’t know that he is a long term solution but you know goalies are voodoo
