You spelled UBS ready before the season so they don’t get a 13 game road trip and Covid outbreak wrong.
the team was playing really poorly well before covid hit them hard. regardless, who besides barzal, wahlstrom, dobson, sorokin, pelech, pulock and I guess Lee and Nelson do we really want to keep moving forward? The team is not good at all.

Vegas could use an upgrade in goal.

Oh yeah, and a LOT of cap space (unless Stone gets the Kucherov treatment).

Edmonton needs a goalie (as everyone knows).

Wouldn't hurt to have a 3LD and 3 RD, but doing the RD would need to have a trade involving Barrie first most likely (we need a shutdown defender back there and need the cap space from trading Barrie to make it work).

I'd be okay with trying to find a 3RW if we can find a deal to move out Yamamoto to fill a different need as well. I like him, but we need to add some scoring and size, and Yamamoto doesn't have one, and isn't bringing the other.

Kane - McDavid - Kassian
Foegle - Draisaitl - Pulujarvi
Hyman - Nuge - ???
Shore/Perlini - McLeod - Ryan/Shore

Nurse - Bouchard
Keith - Ceci
New veteran bottom pair (Lagesson is playing well, but has little experience)

New Goalie
Skinner

:nucks

1) At least one top-4 RD, defensive/PK type in particular
2) Legit 3C, defensive/PK type in particular
3) Two-way bottom 6 wingers

Surplus: mid-20's offensive top-6ers

Roster is too top heavy and in general poorly constructed. We need more scoring from the bottom half of our lineup, and a better mix in our top-6 to help boost the players we are going to build around.

Quality pieces that are available at the right price:
- Miller
- Horvat
- Boeser
- Garland
- Motte

Other pieces available for cheap:
- Poolman
- Myers
- Pearson
- Dickinson
- Halak

Not going anywhere:
- Demko
- Hughes
- Pettersson (only because we probably aren't interested in selling low right now)

Rangers need a top 6 RW and a 3rd line faceoff winning C

could live w the D

i think really just a 3c.

laff will stay at 1rw and kakko hopefully slides at 2rw. Chytil can move to 3rw if we get a good center.

3LD is next but I would rather see them fill internally using Jones.

I sure hope those young RWs step up but they may still get a rental

I’d leave LD alone W Lindgren , Miller , Jones , Robertson. Like it or not Nemeth is gonna play

yeah we are in a weird spot. Laff and kakko need the ice time with good players to develop. But we are also looking to win now. But Laf looked good the last couple games. He needs to get an extended look before TD to see where we go

Ship away pending UFAs at the deadline, and rebuild/retool in the offseason. Focus on bringing in picks/futures.

Start fresh next season with a new coach and new system in place.

Unfortunately, every win in the next month will just reinforce GM Jim Nill's belief that this team is a contender, and we might end up seeing good players walk away for nothing.

Bolts just need a healthy team, and enough bubble wrap to protect Cernak and Bogosarian until the playoffs. No cap space to do anything else.
