I don't care who is the GM as long as we upgrade the NHL talent on the ice. I still think that we need to keep Spaling and find a new home for Gaustad. That is upgrade 1. We need to upgrade Bourque, hopefully with Forsberg. That is upgrade 2. We need/have to sign/trade for a 60-70 point forward. I don't care what his name is or where he plays.
We need to find a way to score 246 (191 from our forwards) goals next year. 3 per game. Realistic expectations for me right now:
Smith-25
Hornquist-20
Wilson-15
Fisher-15
Cullen-12
Forsberg-10
new forward-20
Spaling-10
Stalberg-10
That is 137. So we need 54 goals off of where we need to be. I think it is a safe bet that 15 goals come out of whoever the 4th line is. Leaves 39 goals to find. The easy math says horn gets 25, smith hits 30 and wilson hits 20. That would bring it down to 24. Where do we get those goals. Growth? better FA? defence scores more?
weber-20
josi-10
jones-10
Ellis-8
MDZ-5
Ekholm-2
(55 from D)
Or am I looking at this too simplictically?
