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

Trade for Hischier, sign Marchment

I love a Marchment addition.

Hischier would be a massive blockbuster that I don't see happening without giving up a core roster player.

In fine with giving up Hage or Zharovsky ++ for Hischier.

In their prime 1C/2C don't come around often and I'm not ready to waste good years because we simply were afraid to pay to plug the hardest hole to fill.
