Not sure why we'd be looking at forwards other than because we expect to lose some or all of the UFA we have. If losing Stone/Duchene/Dzingel wasn't a concern, you'd think that we'd be looking to make room up front by dealing a forward.
Focus should be on shoring up the D and getting a goalie that can take over from Andy when he retires until one of Hogberg or Gus is ready.
This year is development, but healthy, or forward group is pretty solid;
1a: Dzingel-Duchene-Batherson
1b: Tkachuk-White-Stone
3a: Boedker-Tierney-Ryan
3b: Smith-Pageau-Pyatt/Paajarvi
That's three solid scoring lines and a pretty darn good checking line for the 3b line and that's without dipping into prospects like Chlapik, Brown, or Balcers
If we're interested in Coyle, that's a bad omen for keeping Dzingel imo.
