Gotta do something to get better or you lose eichel and just finding 1st line wingers won't be easy. Even signing Hall didn't exatcly work out. Need to improve on D too

I wouldn’t trade Risto for 2nd.

I can’t imagine anyone wants Eakin.

Burying Eakin in Rochester is a hell of a lot easier than over paying someone to take him. They also need to deal with Okposo. You are forgetting that Girgensons will be back next year. He replaces Eakin on 4th line, Reinhart probably returns to Eichel’s RW since he can’t win face-offs.

Lowering the Cozens and Middlestadt lines to our bottom 6 is a mistake they are showing they can be our middle 6 and excell while doing it. If Jack and Sam both want to come back we really only need to upgrade 4c as Okposo and Girgensons are perfect for those roles
