But If we let Vatanen walk in 2 years that’s a big hole on the blue line. You have to factor in Greene being gone too. 

Reilly Walsh for Vats and a brand new traffic cone from Walmart could fill Greene’s spot. Filling his spot is the least of our worries

Hopefully Walsh turns out to be decent, but you also can’t just pencil him in as an automatic replacement for a guy like Vatanen, who at the very least is a solid top 4 dmen. Ideally you’d bring Walsh in an give him 3rd pairing type minutes, and on the PP. Kind of like what they’ve done with Butcher. Defense is the hardest position to play coming into the league, and unless you’re an absolute stud (he’s not), it will take a while.

yeah and i suspect there won't be much on the market D wize next summer either... most good ufas will be signed by then or too old to give a long term contract

You never know but it's certainly a gamble to rely on that or on our kids to take the next step and replace guys eating a lot of minutes like vatanen and greene.

This is where i'm really really trying to trade Zacha and maybe even Wood for some D. We can totally afford not having those 2 up front if it means having a younger and more stable D for the next 5 years or so. Also getting bottom 6 talent on the market or from our young guys is a lot easier so if we can flip those assets i'd do it for sure

It would also help if we could sign a guy like Lee or wtv. Or let's dream... Panarin. Cause then that's a straight up "free asset" that we can just add and even if it's not helping on the D... well again, it's making some players up front expandable and we can try to flip them for some D help

Anyone point out he’s bringing his former Olympic skier girlfriend Lindsey Vonn to NJ with him? More hotness for the arena.

She have a NJ based friend for Hughes?

EDIT: Lindsey is juuuust young enough to not be the age where I would say "she could be Jack Hughes' mother", although technically, it would've been biologically possible. If she wasn't so busy skiing.

It looks like Jack already has a girlfriend. I won't comment on her appearance, because she's 17 and I like freedom. 

What's creeping me out is that when you say "it looks like..." I take it literally, like you're in a tree watching him with binoculars. You also knew what his draft cake said. A little disconcerting, but I get the devout fandom (see: "stalking").

It’s @MB3; all of that stuff is mild for him.
