i just have little faith that we upgrade our C this summer. maybe through FA if the prices are really low.
my guess is they will likely move Hoffman judging on what BM has been saying and from that will likely try to make another pitch for drouin to fill the gap.
I, sincerely hope that we go after some vet leadership. prefereable on the LW. there's sevral options out there in that department this year. Ladd, loui ericksson, possibly a young Boedker which isn't much leadership but would help on the wing none the less. but this team needs a tiny overhaul if you ask me. they seem keen to move hoffman and that should do it. bringing druoin and another LW in the top 6 should bring in enough in terms of change.

and as for drouin, if the info is correct they had offered colin white and that will likely be who is dealth for drouin. alongside someone like puempel and a second rounder of a first in 2017.

I'm a bit wary about trading White + for Drouin. I recognize Drouin's pedigree is better, but I think White + a 1st is way too much. I could be wrong. Maybe Drouin is gonna be lights out, but I'm very excited about White right now. White and Chabot look like the real deal and I hope they don't get moved in a large package for another prospect.

Good lord, he better be the next coming if we're giving up White. I have a terrible feeling that White being dealt wont be just Bishop, it'll be Bishop magnified. Ugh.

Solid. Let's pull the trigger.

I know how you feel. Somehow I'm more attached to Chabot. I don't often get attached to D prospects but this kid feels special. Like a possible partner for karlsson down the road that would be offensively deadly.

Of course I'd love to keep white. Might end up being an amazing 2nd line center.
But I get the feeling that BM is willing to pull the trigger on white for drouin. It's tempting.

Bishop? You got Tampa on the brain son.
