Are there any players you would like GMGM to target over the summer?
He has a ton of assets coming in. Picks he'll get for bad contracts, players and picks from the ED and our normal 2-7 draft picks (not trading our first). I'd put all of that on the table, and look to pick up some good young players.
From the Wings, I'd grab Filip Hronek. Former 2nd round pick looking like he could be a decent #2 Dman on the backend for years to come. Detroit has Cholowski and is rumored to be picking a DMan in the top 10 this year again (Liljegren?). This makes Hronek expendable.
From Jersey I'd target Michael McCleod. Good two-way C who I believe could end up as a solid top line C, but is projected as an above average 2nd line C with Grabner-like wheels, good vision and great defensive play. Was probably off the table until recently, but the Devils will soon have Zacha and Patrick down the middle on top of Henrique et al, making McCleod expendable as well.
So many options, want to hear your thoughts. I think this team should be built from the ground up, trading some assets and building around a young core. The blue-chippers will all be off the table but guys in that next tier will be available via trade, and I believe we would hit gold on some of them for sure.
