Who's everyone's favorite top 6 add targets?
Buch, DeBrusk, Coleman, Marchessault, Crouse, Ehlers, Konecny, Vatrano, maybe Farabee
I'd be absolutely shocked if Adams adds a top 6 guy, even if Skinner isn't here. Tage and Cozens are locked in. Tuch, JJP and Quinn are likely locked in. Benson could finish out the top 6. Or Kulich. Or Savoie.
I think the forward adds are for the bottom 6.
But he said it himself after the TDL, and if they buyout Skinner (which seems possible), it makes a lot of sense to add a proven guy to the top 6, since relying on young guys again doesn't make much sense. And there's a lot of smoke in the air that Adams wants to add a top 6 forward.
