Assuming Clarke MacArthur is adept at playing both wings, the list of candidates to join him and Turris on Line 2 would seem to start with Mika Zibanejad. Except Murray finds appealing the idea of the 20-year-old Swede in the middle.

"We'll talk to (coach) Paul (MacLean) later in the summer about that," he said. "The kid's such a good skater and so powerful, if we could get him to really develop in the middle, we could have a real dynamic centre for a lot of years here."

For his part, Zibanejad just wants to play as much as possible.

"Centre more fits my game, but if they want me to play winger, anything that can get the most out of me, I'm ready and willing to do that," he said. "It's a challenge and it will be fun to see what happens."

Zib and Murray seem to prefer him playing at Centre not Wing.

It's one or the other between him and Pageau on the left side of Turris.  I'd prefer Pageau when the chips are down.

With that in mind, I see Cleary is still out there.  If we want a guy with experience and who is pretty clutch in the post-season, we might want to  look at him briefly.

We have too many forwards right now:

Ryan-Spezza-Michalek      
Conacher-Turris-MacAthur
Greening-Zbad-Pageau
Condra-Smith-Neil

Kassian/JOB

I honestly expected they'd use a compliance buyout on JOB, doesn't sound like he is their plans at all.

Once Smith is traded, we'll be back to A-OK.
