I think special teams are the biggest problem this year.
I don't know if you go outside to find a PKer, or if you just keep building.
If I was going to rebuild I would start with Petry. He's been awful this year. Trade him for a 2nd from New Jersey. Acquire Demers for Fucale and Mc Carron.
I would then trade Pacioretty for Chytil and the Rangers 1st, reuniting Pacman with his old buddy. I drop Benn and Davidson for the draft picks sacrificed for Ott and King. Mitchell too.
New lineup:
Galchenyuk-Drouin-Gallagher
Chytil-Plekanec-Lehkonen
(Chytil gets to learn from the wily vet)
Byron-Danault-Shaw
Hudon-DeLaRose-Sherbak
Deslauriers
Mete-Weber
Alzner-Demers
Schlemko-Jerabek
The young guys get chances to contribute, and develop. And help secure a top 10 pick. Juulsen or Lernout get a chance to hone their skills in the A, but provide viable solutions for penalty killing defensemen, potentially.
Bergevin or his replacement has an extra 1st Rd pick to acquire a #2 centre like Henrique at the draft, who would fit in nice between Hudon and Sherbak, and make a true 4 line team, while having a slate of draft picks to stock the shelves.
Add a good physical RH RW to compete with Sherbak, and a depth RH centre, and this is suddenly a young team up and coming team, with a different leadership group.
