I’d argue that of all of them only Montour makes sense; both in terms of age and pricetag; but I fully expect in-house development (not to mention recept addition to the blue line) will make it (mostly) a mute point.
Stephenson would be nice sure; but the above still applies: if we cant develop our own C an addition like him won’t really swing the needle much.
Sure. Everybody would go for Matthews and Hellebuyck in a second. But the pricetag…

I think you could make an argument for everyone of them. However, to be 100% honest, who can say they couldn’t utilize a still young Mathews? Helly makes since if Elvis has another bum year. And Bill Ny is appealing as well. But every team knows these guys are studs and the check you’re gonna have to write in order to land any of them is gonna be HEAVY! And for that reason, I’d say none of them make sense for CBJ.

Severson would have been on this list and we got to him before the market opened. I don’t know I think we should stand pat.

I’ve always loved Willy Nylander, but we’re too stacked at wing he wouldn’t be worth it

Immediately the three I had in mind were Marchessault, Montour, and Stephenson, which some people also seem to agree

Auston matthews would be an obvious yes but that’s not happening. Everyone else is probably not worth it given our timeline or not actually going to FA (stammer)

Marchessault needs to come back home
