Ah yea, if we had a real coach and scoring were an issue I would be on board but I think our scoring woes are more to do with coaching than our roster. I think we share the same problem where our team is softer than we would like. You and I want to add the same kind of players.
I donno, I've been mulling it over and maybe Gaudette isn't such a bad idea for the Yotes just in case Hayton doesn't hit 1c status. If we add Gaudette for Crouse we have to find another big body (that uses it) to play in our top 9 and we absolutely can't play him with either of Kessel or Schmaltz. If Toffoli had a few years left on his deal I would say lets add him and Schmaltz but I'm already hoping we pick him up in FA. No one is taking Kessel off our hands so Schmaltz is the only moveable piece at RW not name Garland. I don't even know what to ask for. Miller and Virtanen are the two I have the most interest in but they go against what you're trying to build. Would Miller work if we took Eriksson off your hands? I know that puts us over the cap so we would need to do a deal to clear some space before this was done.
Crouse + Schmaltz + Fisher/Hinostroza for Gaudette + Miller + Eriksson?
For reference of what's in my head line wise, obviously this shit changes all the time IRL.
Miller - Dvorak - Garland
Keller - Gaudette - RW
Soderberg - Hayton - Kessel
Grabner - Stepan - Eriksson
