Definitely agree on the Suter separation. It needs to happen to push this D corps forward. And finding a legit top four dman, preferably a right shot, via trade or UFA would be a bonus. Play Lundkvist every night and rotate Miller and Hakanpaa in the 6/7 slots. Ideally you’d have Miro paired with a new top 4 right shot. Lindell paired with Lundkvist. Harley paired with Miller/Hakanpaa. Or could mix/match right/left shots on those bottom two pairs. Second and third pairs would be 2A and 2B. Let Miller and Hakanpaa go when contracts up in a year. Develop Bichsel, Grushnikov, Kyrou in Cedar Park.
Great stuff, Sean! Would LOVE the Suter buyout, but just don't see Nill doing that. At a bare minimum, Nils has to play on a nightly basis, even if there are painful stretches. You invested a 1st round pick, let him play. The best way to insure that happens is a Suter buyout.
In pipe dream long shot scenario is there a way Klingberg signs a one year $3M prove it contract with Dallas? There’s no way teams are paying him anywhere close to $7M with this last season

Great stuff. I assume by the OKC market, you mean me. Lol.
