Even though Kyle Dubas already went bargain shopping on July 1st, there are still bargains and deals to be had on the UFA market. Patrick and Hunter discuss two names, Filip Zadina and Oliver Kylington, who are still available and if they fit into the team’s needs and the current plan the team has. Next, lost in all the craziness of the draft, free agency, and now summer, David Quinn is going to be coaching the power play. How can he get it back to at least league average after a disastrous 2023-24? Finally, we mostly know who the top six will be comprised of so they discuss their expectations for players like Drew O’Connor, Michael Bunting, Bryan Rust, and Rickard Rakell.

Zadina is interesting if not only because he is cheap, young, has scored 13 goals, and him and David Quinn already have a close relationship
Doc is my top 6 player to watch. I know most people are nervous he's not a natural goal scorer but he put up good numbers last year and destroyed teams on the forecheck. He had 16 goals and he wasn't with crosby all season nor was he on the power play. I believe a full season on sids wing, plus maybe some pp2 time as the next front/retreval guy and he should be in the mid 20's. I think that makes him a legit top 6 winger. Do i think there are better players out there as natural goal scorers, of course but they would cost too much in $ or assets. Maybe next season we will have the space and money to shop for another high end talent. But until then I think DOC is the fit and makes that line much harder to play against.
Thank you for being the only people mentioning Filip Zadina! Mentioned him in another podcast and it was pretty much met with an eye roll. Dude has a good shot, just played on some offensively non-existent teams.
Kylington is one who I have thought of too. I am surprised he is still available. Definitely worth taking a shot at, but I would expect him to sign with a contender.
My gramma ,she would be tougher on defense than what you have !
Yeah I still think Dubas needs another move or two. Even though Reilly Smith didn't work trading him still left a hole in the top six that Dubas hasn't filled yet. Zadina might be worth a shot. The skill is there but the numbers just aren't because he's been on some bad teams. I like Kylington too but honestly I just don't see a spot for him after signing Aho and Grzelcyk.
