If they keep Max Pac, that's a lot of LW's with the addition of Domi.

Max Pac
Drouin
Domi
Lehkonen
Hudon
DLo

As for actual RW... or who can play RW successfully...
Gally
Byron
Shaw
Sherbak

That's a weak RW line.

So now in market for a Left 1/2D, 2 top 6 Centers and now a top 6 RW.

Yup... Julien will continue to hone his part time job of juggler... juggling lines that is!

Hopefully we luck out and draft well this year and get 2 more lottery picks in the next 2 years and within 4 to 5 years light trickles at the end of this tunnel.

Wrong. Drouin played more RW than he played LW.

Lehkonen had his best stretch when he played his offwing. Byron is best suited at LW.

Just to be clear because I watched this press conference he didn't make a point to say it a reporter asked him do you think pacioretty will be back next year and he said yes.
What else would he say in that scenario, patches is as good as traded?

That is disappointing to hear for Pacioretty. Hopefully he can get out of there before the deadline. Every single day he’s on this team is a punishment.

Pacioretty, who will be 30 on Nov. 20, has clearly stated his preference is to stay in Montreal. If he’s willing to take somewhat of a discount to make that happen, then signing him makes some sense. Top-end players who want to play in Montreal are worth keeping in Montreal. Also, as one NHL executive told The Athletic at the combine, the Canadiens are unlikely to get full value for Pacioretty in an offseason trade, and his value might actually be higher at the trade deadline, which is, you know, weird. But you don’t want that massive distraction lingering around the team all season, and signing Pacioretty to an extension would avoid that while also preventing the Canadiens from making a trade for 50 cents on the dollar.

What will the Canadiens do with the No. 3 pick in the NHL...

Pscioretty's value might be at higher at the trade deadline. His value isn't what it used to be.
