I don't think it will be him and really, I don't think any of the 3 will be busts

That'd be good, it seems a good center is often needed to get a good defenseman in trade.

With Romanov coming in here in one year (most likely), how much do we need a LHD?

How good is a Romanov, Mete, Kulak left side a year from now? Yes they need a LD, even if Romanov comes next year, he's not a top 4 right away... if ever!

He could be a top 4 real quick. Look at Mete. And he was not a top prospect.

I guess you do it if he you can and worry about the «problem» later on. But I'm not sure it's a must anymore. Not on a rebuilding team.

I think the idea of an actual rebuild is almost out the window, Karlsson would make that official... and with what they've acquired in the last 24 months, I'm ok with that ...

Can't compare it to Mete to reinforce your point really, is Mete a real top 4 D at this stage?

Nope but he might become one.

Ironically MB looks more like a wrestler than the others with his epic biceps

Hoping so but I don't expect Romanov to just jump into a top 4 role

Karlsson's health is scary. Giving him long-term at massive cap hit will be the riskiest contract this summer.

Nobody should, he'll need time to adjust to smaller ice as well. Probably a year in Laval would do him good.

Mete is a top4 on a team who didn't make the playoffs. he has 0 goals in over a 100 games!
