Description

Although I'm wary about going through another GM change its probably for the best Botts has certainly had opportunities to make this team a contender and failed.
He did revamp the D core which could be his legacy here and hopefully the new GM can make the surplus of D a good trade chip.
This offseason the goal should be to draft high end talent that can help either this year or next at the latest. No big projects.
Finding a suitable 2C that's timeline will run along side Cozens until he is ready to make the leap. And filling out the reset of the team with talent that won't wipe away all the cap to take away from dahlin joke mitts and cozens in the future.
I think danault would be perfect he can solidify the middle and can go to the 3c in 2 3 years when cozens is ready.
I decided to slot Mitts in a wing role with eichel instead of signing a RW or trading for one. I would say if it desnt work out there a Mitts and Risto trade for a winger would work pretty well.
I think our core is set up pretty nice and depending on some of the young guys pan out the team could be really good.
Still need a goalie, although Ullmark showed signs of brilliance but was too inconsistent but don't see a goalie worth signing or trading for right now.

Whatever the value MTL can't trade Danault for now... not until KK or Peohling can fit TOP 2C

If Danault is your 3C, then you’re either one of the best teams in the league, or you put way too much emphasis on centres.

And Danault isn’t available. Other than Carey Price he may be the player that it would hurt the team most to lose.
