Liljegren is probbaly who I'd pick, but I'd also consider Peeke or Stolarz. The problem would be the cap.

If the cap exists, I'd go with Nick Perbix.

Paul Cotter looked amazing on the Devils, my favourite type of player. Might be better than a 3rd liner now though.

Borgen as a third pairing defenseman.

Miles Wood if his on his game.

I loved guys like Boyle, Grabner, Cogliano and Helm but right now I don't have those kind of favourites.

My Criteria:
- Must be 25+ OR have 250+ NHL games played
- Must average no more than 15m/game as a FWD or 18m/game as a D
- If, in my estimation, they will end the season with more minutes per game than outlined above, I will disqualify them

From Boston - Trent Frederic
From Buffalo - Jason Zucker
From Detroit - Michael Rasmussen (imo Copp will avg 15+ mins by end of year)
From Florida - Nate Schmidt
From MTL - Jake Evans (Newhook imo will avg 15+ mins by end of year)
From TB - Zemgus Girgensons
From Toronto - Timothy Liljegren

For Ottawa, I take Liljegren. His fanboys overrate him but he would add a lot of stability to our 3rd pair. Evans would fill a big hole on the 4th line, too.

Realistically, though, I just want a good backup. How has Korpi been in Boston?

He's played one game and he didn't look great. With that said, it was one game and the team in front of him played like shit so I'm curious to see how he shakes out as he plays more games.

Stolarz definitely isn’t the clear backup for the Leafs at this point. Even before yet another Woll injury I think everyone envisioned more of a proper tandem.

Islanders: Pageau so he won’t keep scoring on us

Devils: Paul Cotter. I liked him a while back and it seems like he’s putting in the work

Penguins: St. Ivany, Puustinen, and O’Connor

I get what you're saying, but he's 30yrs old with 110 NHL games.

For the Devils..

does Jordan Staal from the Canes count?

If not then Lars Eller.

Both of them are consistent players even in their old age, They both could battle with Haula for 3C or be a 4C which would allow Bastian to be flicked off the team as he's the weakest link on the forth line.
