It would be nice if Montreal can trade or sign for someone this summer who can be in our top 6.
Even if we draft someone who can be in our lineup in 2 years, we still need the offensive depth. We need to be 3 lines deep. 4th line a grinding, punishing line, hopefully with one of Florian Xhekaj or Tuch leading that. I think that's what they're trying to build.
We still have Suzuki, Dach, Dvorak & Evans as our 4 centers, so there's no need to rush Beck.
LW: Caufield, Roy our only LWers to bring back next year. Pearson is gone. RHP 4th liner. Pezzetta 13th F.
RW: Slafkovsky, Newhook, Anderson & Gallagher, Armia, Ylonen. We should move on from Armia & Ylonen. If need to, retain on Armia. Anderson & Gallagher we'll deal with summer of 2025.
So we can sign or trade for at least a LW.
