He said shoot first not someone accidentaly has it bounce off his legs and inI 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
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?

1. Boston - top 6 scoring RW
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.
I'm not saying that is the reason we got swept. Just saying last year we didn't make a move and we got swept. It could make us think to make a move this year. I dont necessarily think we will be reactionary from that but I do think we will want to be a little different in our approach but I also don't think they will just go out there and make the biggest move possible. They will make a move if theres one to be made. That's just how they've been doing it for a while now though.
