BananaMash Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Would be decent depth considering our team is going to be a tire-fire anyway. It'd allow someone like Virtanen another year in the AHL if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if the recent tank teams have proven anything, you need a good third and also preferably a decent fourth line as well in order to succeed. A heavy top 6 alone doesn't cut it in today's NHL.
