It's fascinating how a prospect primarily characterised as a shooter can become such a dreadful finisher. I remember on one of his goals, he had a wide open net and still hit the goalie. Respectfully, I'm seriously starting to wonder if he has some sort of lingering post-concussion issues or something.

Personally, I hope other teams value him as highly as Columbus so that he might be included in a trade. Maybe for Larkin?

A bummer you won't do one of these on Voronkov. He, Johnson and Monahan are the big questionmarks heading into next season.

He's confounding for sure. I would love to include him in a trade, Larkin for sure, but what little information we get seems to believe they think he is "core".

Voronkov, and Marchenko for that matter, are still up as an option. Their more advanced age meant I considered their "development" less important but should there be time in the summer I might find a way to get something done.

I don't know what to make of those two, I almost assume they're gone but then really can't see a GM let Marchment and Jenner go to UFA while also moving Johnson and Voronkov. That's every LW except for Sillinger and Wood....

Great stuff as always. Sillinger's game bothers me so much I actively take it personal. All that skill and it's trapped in the vision of an NPC.

I don't like it either but I think I have become inured by way of Miles Wood minutes.
