Am I the only one who thinks Holland is going to have to do some major work with no space. I’d say if we want to compete the lines look right now like
X. McDavid Draisaitl
X. RNH X
Kharia X Kassian
Nygard Brodziak Gagner
Lucic
Klef/Larsson
Nurse/X
X/Sekera
Koskinen
X
We need to shed Russel if we can, probably more eatable for a team then Sekera. At minimum 2 of those top 6 spots need proven talent. A legit 3C is a must. A backup goalie is a must.
I get people saying “we have Mcdavid, we don’t need to overhaul to make it”. Mcdavid and Drai put up insane years this past year and I didn’t even feel like we were close after like December.
I mean we have some good depth on the way in Benson, Yamamoto, Bouchard. But if this brutal stretch has taught us anything it’s that we can’t rely on it. I’m also assuming Pulju is flipped, hopefully to address one of the spots marked X
