A working system.

But with your question, probably a top 4 d. We didn't have a problem scoring goals last season, we had a problem keeping the puck out of our net.

I'm already excited for the season and we're mid July. Terrible.

 

[OttawaOilers]

Our team from two years ago would suffice.

Same here

Top 4 dman AINEC.

A better 2nd pairing that can take a min or 2 away from Karlsson would be huge.

 

[Knave]

Between the options - a top 4 defenseman.

But if we could get a truly talented forward who on most teams would be a top line player - then I take that over an extra Dman.

A less manic-depressive fanbase.

But a top 4 defenseman would be nice.

Is the answer confidence?

We have prospects and players that have the potential to fill the holes that others have mentioned.

It's all about time now, to see if they can fill it or not.

Ex. Cowen, Ceci, top 4 potential.
Ex. Stone, Chiasson, ZBad, top 6 potential.

It's not like they haven't addressed it, they just haven't addressed it in a 'now' basis by trading/signing proven ones.

It's all about patience at this point, you could say last year was the typical bump in the road and this year is the year they show their potential.
Let's wait and see before we all crap in our pants too early

Coveting Curtis Lazar like a poor man's Jonathan Toews.

what if E.Kane was attainable for us, would you prefer top6 then?

i drool at that thought

If Ceci develops fast and Cowen bounces back, we won't need a top-4 D. I'm not comfortable rushing Ceci though. I'm scared he'll lose his offensive game.

Methot-Karlsson
Cowen-Ceci
scrap-scrap
Borowiecki/Claesson/Phillips/Wiercioch-Gryba

 

[Mr Invidious]

Everything is relative.

I feel that if we need to improve one area over the other, it's without a doubt our blue-line. Kane would be nice, just not realistic and we have other areas of concern that are far more pressing.

this, i think if we do make a move its for a top 6 winger. for some reason i'm more confident in our young defence developing better than our young forwards.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

A #1 center is our biggest need.

I'm with you. I think we could get a great deal of effective hockey out of the addition of one more top 4 dman.

 

[Sun God Nika]

We need a 70+ point forward.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

We need more top end talent that wants to stay
