Fox apparently signed up some of this seasons squad for the next who do we think?
I'd hope Benny and Jono are signed up fast Brit wising - I'm assuming everyone else (British) is still under contract
Tron, Eberle, DeLuca, Vallerand, Connolly - would be the highest on my import retain list
I would want Armstrong, Davies Sandstrom and Lemtyugov too though
although a couple maybe retiring!

Lemtyugov is a funny one, one of the best I've seen with the puck on his stick but one of the worst I've seen without itNathan wrote:I wouldn’t be at all bothered if Lemtyugov and Armstrong moved on tbh. I think we can upgrade considerably on both.

Trončinský, Hrabal, DeLuca, Vallerand, Connolly, Eberle are my top 5.

Armstrong has been excellent IMO his ability to retain possession (often using his rear end) is quality and opens up space for others (e.g. Davies in CC final). He wins more than 50% of his face-offs and has been our go to in the circle all year - especially after St Pierre left. I think he would be a definite keep but probably on line 2 or 3?
Works well with Lemty if he does stay and works well with Dowdy.
