I think we're a Giroux signing away from having a pretty balanced lineup.
Tkachuk-Norris-White
Giroux-Stutzle-Batherson
Formenton-Pinto-Brown
Joseph-Gambrell-Watson
Extra: Kelly, Kastelic, Sokolov, Senyshyn, Greig
Chabot-Zub
Sanderson-Hamonic
Brannstrom-Holden
Extra: Zaitsev, Del-zotto, JBD, Thomson
Forsberg
Murray
We could use an upgrade on White who imo is better suited on a 3rd line but I've liked how he's played with Tkachuk and Norris in Batherson's absense, we could flip him and Brown but I think Brown makes that third line a real threat. Rumours about a trade to Mtl lead me to think one of Drouin or Anderson could be the target,
On the back end, we need another top4 RD, right now we have two bottom pairs, Either of Brannstrom and Sanderson could play in a top 4 role but ideally with a strong partner. Dumping Zaitsev's contract would be ideal imo, but I don't know if we'd do it.
Goaltending, well, I'd dump Murray if we can, but otherwise it is what it is.
Getting into the playoffs will still be tough, as there's a lot of competition for that last wildcard spot.
