Speculation: Are there any teams that need wingers?

[Merrrlin]

This position seems to be the least valued - It's the easiest position to fill, as every good forward who can't cut it as a C can slide to the wing without issue.

I'm curious about who needs a wing, and what quality?

List of teams who need wingers:

1. Boston - top 6 scoring RW

[Tkachuky]

Flames could use a top 6 RW. Preferably a shoot first guy.

 

[Saltcreek]

Edmonton need wingers badly. What quality do they need? Top 6, just any would be better than what we have.

 

[Paul4587]

Ducks need everything. Wingers, centres, dmen. Only position we don’t need upgrading is in net.

 

[CupsOverCash]

I think TB could be in the market for a winger. Will be interesting to see if TB does anything. They stayed quiet last year and got swept. I feel like they will do something.

 

[themelkman]

San Jose needs a top six RW bad, but also we are likely sellers so maybe in the summer

[Dipsy Doodle]

Pens could use a high end RH shot scoring winger. Palmieri, Rakell, Gallagher.

I'd take Cousins in EDM if the price is really cheap.

4th pick, DONE AND DONE.

 

[LMFAO]

4th pick, DONE AND DONE.

I'd do it... lets call Holland and Bergevin

I'd do it... lets call Holland and Bergevin

I will bring him myself to the airport !

I don’t think we are sellers. Just not going to be huge buyers. I think we give a prospect and a lower pick for a tweener.

 

[YP44]

Boston, Calgary, Edmonton are all defiantly looking for a RW.

Colorado I could see looking for a top 6 wing.

Pittsburgh and Islanders could be.

Buffalo may have pressure to make a playoff push.

I think more teams in the playoff spot are looking for wingers than not

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

The only spot the Blues would upgrade would be wing

 

[GOilers88]

Flames could use a top 6 RW. Preferably a shoot first guy.

I feel like James Neal fits the bill. But I have these nagging voices in my head telling me Calgary was way too stacked for him to play in the top six. Nashville, Pittsburgh and VGK were all crazy

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Call Detroit.

I'd listen on all, minus Zadina.

 

[YP44]

I feel like James Neal fits the bill. But I have these nagging voices in my head telling me Calgary was way too stacked for him to play in the top six. Nashville, Pittsburgh and VGK were all crazy

I think Edmonton wishes they had better options on the wing than him, and no I am not a Flames fan

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I know you jest but Neal sucks 5v5 and shouldn’t be in the top 6. I hope Holland addresses this as I wouldn’t mind Neal as a scoring option on the 3rd line

Lol, I know. I also agree.

he was brutal here. What can you do?

 

[780il]

Edmonton.

We need all the winger

 

[CycloneSweep]

Edmonton needs a top 6 winger.

 

[TK 421]

I would love for the Blues to be in on a quality winger rental. Blais is back soon-ish but Tarasenko still out till playoffs means there's some motivation to add a vet for the stretch run and the PO's.

I think TB could be in the market for a winger. Will be interesting to see if TB does anything. They stayed quiet last year and got swept.

Correlation != causation. In addition to other factors (including general overconfidence and Cooper’s inability to adjust to a team that was beating us the same way Washington defeated us the year before) we had Hedman getting a concussion right before the playoffs, Point playing with two torn hips, Kucherov disappearing and then getting his stupid ass suspended, and Vasilevskiy going cold at the worst possible time. What difference do you think a rental winger would have made in that series?

Don’t get me wrong: I wouldn’t mind us bringing in an upgrade for our bottom six if the right player is available at a reasonable price. But the lack of a TDL acquisition is not what kept us from winning the Stanley Cup last year, and it won’t be the primary or even a major factor in our success or lack thereof this year either. The Bolts don’t need one more piece to make them serious contenders - they need the players they already have to a) stay healthy, and b) show up when it counts.
