3 trade smith an eller for 2nd rd an 4th rd pick
4 Sign Brandon Monitor and Teuvo Teravainen

Brandon Monitor is my favorite species of monitor lizards.

Nile monitors are also pretty damn cool too. Look at how massive this thing is:

Our best would be to have a time machine and clone a few Crosbys and a few Malkins when they were at their best.
2nd best would have been to just properly tank the last two years when it was clear we were gonna struggle into a playoff spot so we could have NHL ready guys coming into their own for the final two years of the sid n geno show

But no, middle of the pack is what we chose

Must trade our 1st round pick and top prospects every year to get into the playoffs!!!


...only to miss every year and finish top 10...meaning we get nobody.

Not only nobody, but usable players on ELCs. So we end up paying $3mil+ for veterans where we COULD be playing guys making $850k and get a pair of top six wingers who can shoot with the savings.

I know. Rocket science.
