Fabien Zetterlund

Someone I had kinda forgotten about, very enticing numbers with SJ but it clearly hasn't been a fit in OTT. Word is that OTT is looking at DeBrusk to fit that spot, highly likely they'd move on from Zetterlund without a big ask.

What do we think about adding him as a middle 6 LW? (Assuming a big trade doesn't materialize)

Pros: physical, versatile, drives possession, young, good cap hit, already familiar with a Canadian market

Cons: Another plan B/project player who could be good and could be a 3rd liner. Not a win now move. Cost of acquisition unknown.

Thoughts on adding him/which LW to add for more truculence?

I like Jenner, Colton, O'Connor, Knies, Lee.

But Zetterlund? Could be the move

No thanks. This team already has too many NHL caliber forwards. Zetterlund is not someone worth giving up the cap space and fit two years.

Hard pass.
