Notes on each move
-I still somehow genuinely believe that this team can make a WC spot but if not they better use that top 15 pick to their advantage, use it as a trade piece, getting a player that can help you win with Mcdavid and Drai is so much more helpful than some random 15th overall pick which you will fail to develop. You offload Ceci while bringing in a top-4 d-man who can make immediate impact and create stability. Blues shed a contract that could get yucky by the end of it and get a top 15 pick that will actually be put to use.
-This habs trade should happen in the next few weeks, Skinner is at his best as a 1A/1B goalie so is Allen. This is a tandem you can win with if you provide ok defence, getting a veteran goalie and a 4C whose proven to be solid in the playoffs is important. Bourgault/2nd should be enough for half retention on Allen, Habs get a high second and a middle 6 prospect for two depth pieces that will mean nothing to them in 2 years no matter what
-Give Holloway one last shot, put him on that 3rd line and PP2 and if at that point he can't show production you've done everything you can.
-Lavoie and Broberg have shown they won't be stars which to me is fine since they both look like great depth pieces, yeah it's a letdown but work with what you got. Broberg is a great bottom pairing guy and Lavoie is a great 4th liner.
-Debrusk may be one of the only UFAs willing to sign here, do it. He's a perfect fit give him a one year deal to bounce back
-Brown will/should just resign for 750k, you pray to the lord he bounces back as a 3rd liner
-Obvious Campbell buyout
