The Panty Wadder

I feel like if we aren’t doing any big changes to the defense (Hamilton), Oleksiak is a must add. He’s huge and can skate like the wind. He would fit in perfectly, and I really like that D-Core even if Dunn is traded. That is a really solid top 4.

Offensively, Perron is basically a full on RW at this point. We need a legit top 6 LW for he and and ROR. If Thomas is ready to be 2c you can slide Schenn over to LW to fill the other top 6 LW vacancy and then sign a 3c (Haula, Getzlaf, etc). My personal Favorite targets for a trade are Gourde and Palat, and FA is Coleman. All 3 fit the blues mold perfectly and would be fantastic additions. Maybe Landeskog as well if he is unable to fit into Colorado’s long term cap plan.

I'm incredibly bullish on Coleman as well, and on Hyman. Both would be cost-friendly for what they provide and each help solidify the LW position. Both will also be very hotly contested UFAs. As you said, Perron should not be moved from the RW and I do like the idea of sliding Schenn over to LW IF Thomas is ready to take over as the 2C. I'm not sure he's quite there, but I'm not Army, Berube and Co. This year showed me that the Blues need some 200-ft FWDs who will get in on backchecking, get into the dirty areas, and play the physical game that the Western Conference demands and also need to add another defenseman (Hamilton, Barrie, Oleksiak) who can move the puck out of the Blues' zone.

Umm the ducks don’t need LW. Idk who told you that.

I got it from a site that lists each team's individual needs and the severity of that need. However, I didn't realize the needs was for 2021 and not 2022 when I posted. Either way, the Ducks do look a little thin in depth down the LW.

Huge hell naw to Oleksiak, I have no idea why so many Blues fans want him. He's an absolute DISASTER moving the puck out of the zone.
