I know its a bit early but anyone want to speculate on what we could be looking for at the deadline?
Some forward grit?
Defense depth?

What about maybe a little protection so teams dont take runs at Stamkos, Kuch, Point etc down the stretch?Honestly I don’t see any need to add anything. All motors are humming.
This. We have 13 good, NHL-quality forwards properly slotted (if not slotted below), and 7 good, NHL-quality D properly slotted. We have a stud #1 and a #2 goaltender.Honestly I don’t see any need to add anything. All motors are humming.
this is something I would look into, just a 4th liner who can replace cally or erne from time to time against tougher teams.What about maybe a little protection so teams dont take runs at Stamkos, Kuch, Point etc down the stretch?
Could we call up Andreoff for that?this is something I would look into, just a 4th liner who can replace cally or erne from time to time against tougher teams.
I mean - yeah I'm factoring in the cap here. If we could add Pietrangelo I'd be all for it.If we are being unrealistic and ignoring the cap, a top pairing RHD would probably be our biggest area of improvement.

Plus risking to mess with chemistry. All lines and pairings are clicking right now.Anything that would be considered “an upgrade” to what we currently have would probably cost too much to get anyways.
Team is fine the way it is now. No point trading away guys that will fill roles in the immediate future, while taking on a contract that might close our window sooner than necessary by trading one or more of those guys.
If we get a injury at the goalie spot again then i could see us making a move at the deadline for a goalie. I don't see a pressing need right now but if we get injuries that could all change.
I mulled it over and there is a move we can make. If Koekkoek wants out we oblige him for picks and futures. But if he's happy then leave him here. We are otherwise about as "all systems go" as we can get.
