Agreed. I don’t see the need for another top 9 forward right now. If anything I’d sign a 4th liner/face puncher to help Carrick.
Henrique-Zegras-Vatrano
McTavish-Strome-Terry
Comtois-Lundestrom-Silfverberg
Jones-Grant-Carrick
healthy scratches: Groulx, UFA face puncher or Hunter Drew.
Who is that UFA face puncher you reference? I dont think one exists that we would want to actually sign. Unfortunately, I dont think we are beefing up anymore unless PV pulls off a trade.
I think if a legit top 6 guy was still out there, he would have been signed by now. I believe PV had interest in it, I mean we know he did with the pursuit of Nino, but whats left now is, meh. Kessel, Rodrigues, Milano, Gagner, Ennis, Galchenyuk.
Have to think Kessel wants to go to a contender after being in AZ. Rodrigues and Milano are almost the same guy. Then you start getting into guys that its questionable if they would even be top 6.
McTavish hasnt earned a top 6 spot yet, but I do think he will end up there. Comtois, if hes on the roster to start the season, is on a very short leash. I think now is the time to see how Perreault, Pasty, and Tracey are coming along. Get them some games and see what they can take.
