We still need forwards too. Baer aside (because of injuries) we only have 1 top 6 winger. That needs to be improved.
There is a great opportunity to help fix the problem with our 10th overall pick, but that won't be immediately.
I agree our defense needs help, but with Hughes, Juolevi, and hopefully Woo. We are starting off on the right path. Who knows maybe Rafferty surprises us & becomes a player like Stecher has.
Ultimately the teams has a major holes both upfront & on the back end. The young talent we have is promising, but still a work in progress.
