Potential Players 23+yo Forward Targets who fit that Top 30 level and are still "young enough" to make sense:
Point,
Rantanen,
Barzal,
Suzuki,
Keller,
Hagel (isn't it ironic"),
J Hughes,
B Tkachuk,
Besser,
Raymond (missed that "opportunity")
Boldy,
Larkin

I'm sure there are some that are contestable there, and some I missed.

Sounds like even Diddy doesn't want to be Diddy right now.

Cirelli would be perfect middle 6 guy for Ruff

Edit: I would target Tkachuk or Stutzle, especially if The Sens have another poopty year. Larkin I like alot too. Maybe Barzal on The Isle if they again have a lottery season...perhaps a quantity of younger players would entice them as that roster ages further

Cozens, McLeod, Helenius are all similar in skillset and capabilities.
I'm not so sure he is truly better than any of the three and he isn't the level I'm talking about.

Agreed on the Sens boys. Larkin signing that extension may rule him out. I really like the idea of Barzal and think he's underrated...but sadly we don't have many players over the age of 45 and those are the only players Lou covets.

Seems like there's only 2 scenarios here.

This team makes the playoffs and Kev struggles just to extend his own guys.

This team misses the playoffs and a new GM is eager to make some core changes.

Yes, but your insistence that he's 25 years old is deeply disturbing.

I wouldn't dare on my kids' lives insinuate such a preposterous and deeply offensive alternative fact.

It's okay, Lun, just stick the dagger back in me again. It's okay, it's okay, I can take it.

In all seriousness, that's probably where we're headed. I'd think we all hope we overachieve and have to sell of Clifton and Sammy to make room but either way, going to be some tough decisions to make...decisions I also think we all know Adams simply can't make.

Think a playoff birth saves Adams' job no matter what?

Spoken like the habitual line stepper you are!

I've seen pictures of the kid and he's no older than 13.

Guess we can drop Sammy off the "trade for cap space" candidate list.

If he was capable of a package deal, it should have been this summer or last. He's doing the opposite: trading assets for bottom 6.

Can you really imagine making the playoffs and firing the GM? I can't.

Or it adds to his perceived trade value as a team leader!

Well, I'm now talking to Democratic leaders and the Ayatollah to see if they can arrange a hit.
They told me they are busy with another target, but we should be able work something out.
