I think Schenn could be gone

Not so sure. Would leave the blueline quite a bit undersized even if Gudas gets regular minutes

No worries -- he was getting scratched, so it's not like he was making anybody remember him

That's why I thought they would move one of Grossmann or Schenn, but wasn't sure they'd want to move both

They still could move Schenn, for legitimate reasons, but I do still believe in having some size if the guy is willing to use it

I guess a lot of it will have to do with Hakstol's system, which may or may not make Schenn more expendable than he was under Berube's system, the latter of which seemed to at least favor a puck mover and a physical defenseman on a pair together

Maybe for the NBA to prevent Hinkie from drafting people who may never play a game

I think Berube's choices there had as much to do with available players as it did with strategy.

are we open to flipping Hagg for a comparable Fwd prospect like http://www.hockeysfuture....m/prospects/matt_puempel/
...or something similar?

Not especially eager to do that, Could try to get a winger in return for a roster D-man

really liked Etem -a leap of faith i know - looks like i wasn't the only one. that's the type i'd be looking for. about to emerge as a pro.

on the other hand, there will be that ~$1.5-2 MM leftover UFA that could hold us over in the interim.

There's other options. I'm hesitant to move Hagg with his potential upside.
