The more centers the better,but what this team is desparate for is a big mean fast talented defenseman.

Time to start shutting thing down when you have a lead.

Recently this has been a very glaring hole in their game.

I agree this is our biggest need.

 

I really wish JB could have somehow swung a deal for Ristolainen when he was on the outs with Buffalo. Seems they have kissed and made up now.  :(

In fairness to JB we hadn’t even signed Myers yet at the time Buffalo was considering moving on from Ristolainen, so a trade wasnt even possible.

 

If JB succeeded in getting Risto then he very likely would not have signed Myers.

Wishful thinking on my part! Wish it was there at the time! Apparently it wasn’t:(..

I'm hopeful that our lineup in 2 years will look pretty much filled with some of our prospects developing into solid fulltime NHL'ers. Its a little optimistic but I only see the 4th line center position as not being quite filled. However, a defensive face-off specialist could be had through trade or FA. I'm not very high on Lind making the team nor am I am confident in Gaudette progressing as a center.

 

Miller Petterson Hoglander

Podkolzin Horvat Boeser

Virtanen Madden Gaudette

Ferland ???? MacEwan

 

Hughes Myers

Juolevi Woo

Rathbone Trymakin
