Doubt top free agents will sign here as they generally want to win. Plekanec be okay signing, but Beagle or Nash probably be better depth centers. Both are younger, costs about the same but can win facoffs and chip in more offensively. Especially, Nash. Nash played well as top 6 center last season when Kreiji went down, the Bergeron. Albeit a small sample size.
Roussel could be a decent ufa. He has enough speed and grit to play on our bottom. Chip in 15 goals, should be reasonable caphit and at 28, has a few years left. Not like he is 35 and ready to fall off.
You want offensive skill on your top 6, but bottom 6 guys need to be speedy with character to keep teams from knocking around your finesse guys. Wrong to try and play finesse guys on bottom 6. You are losing an element to your team. Guys like Hemsky or DLR are wrong kind of guys to put there. Because they can't support your finesse top 6 guys.
Moore be a good ufa left d-man to sign. He has good mobility and size and has scored more than DeHaan. DeHaan I am more cautious on as he missed most the year to major injury. Moore should be better offensively paired with Weber who can cover for his defensivley. Which has been his downfall, he should overachieve with Weber. Increasing his trade value looking ahead a year or two. In a couple of years can deal him at the deadline when kids are mature. Pick up a first pick, or its equal. Especially, if Habs eat some of his salary but they are in a position to do so.
That is 4 good ufa to help us now and movable in future for draft picks.
