A power forward in the top six would be awesome. We can use some grit there.

Dach is that guy for me. Bring in a 2C and move Dach to RW. Dach is going to be a force physically when he is age 25/26+. The injuries set his prime back a bit.
Just because I don't like Dach as our 2C, it don't mean I still don't think he can put up 60-70 pts in his prime and provide a physical element as a winger. If anything, maybe we get to get him signed to a team friendly deal for his prime and he breaks out after the deal is signed. Something that might play into our favor
 
Starting next season:

Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Caufield
Demidov - XXXXXXX - Laine

We need a real proven brand name 2nd line center acquired via trade.

Hutson - XXXXXX
Guhle - Carrier
Xhekaj - Reinbacher/Mailloux

We need a real proven brand name top line defensive partner for Hutson acquired via trade.

If they can make these 2 moves we will be a serious cup contender.

What do you guys think? Are all the pieces we need to complete the rebuild in place?

I think we are one piece away from it.....and we have the draft/prospect capital to acquire our final piece.....a top 4 RD.

I am all for packaging pieces for a top 4 RD and at that point declaring the rebuild over.

Let's move forward with.......

Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf
Laine - Dach - Demidov
Heinemen - Newhook - Armia
Anderson - Evans - Gally

Hage/Beck/Kapanen = Beck and Kap are trade pieces.....keep HAGE!

Hutson - *******
Guhle - Reinbacher
Xhekaj - Carrier

Mailloux/Engstrom = are trade pieces

Monty - until traded
Dobes
Fowler

Picks - 2025 = 1st x 2, 2nd x 3, 3rd x 2, 4th x 2

Now is the time to pull the trigger and go all in with this roster. Tweaks can be made on bottom 6 when Hage arrives or through free agency.

Monty, Matheson, Beck, Kapanen, Maillux, Engstrom, all picks are available to score that final piece IMO.

What do you guys think?

Hopefully Matheson will be a good trade chip to get some assets we can use to flip for that top 4 RD. Struble too.

Too many weak pieces on the team, which includes some of the ones we picked up that haven't lived up to potential. A retool is necessary and a final rebuild is still a long way off. With the status quo, we are only a step ahead of Buffalo.

I disagree. Dach has been producing about as expected since late December and that would only improve with Demidov coming up.

The guy I'm not sure about on the 2nd is Laine. If he can regain his form then great. But right now I don't see it.

I don't see us moving towards a big name RD. I think Reinbacher will come in and he'll gradually take that role. I can see us getting another Carrier/Savard type for depth (if Savard is moved at the deadline.)
