Description

At least it'll be fun to watch Donny Meatballs and the kids.
Adding Power, another high pick and maybe a big ticket free agent forward like Couturier or Point in 2022 could be really exciting.

They hold Zegras and Drysdale at the same level

Giving away Olofsson is stupid especially with retention.

He doesn't do much productive other than shoot... and that even started to fade last year because he stands in one spot and his name isn't Ovechkin... He's also pretty bad in his own end and in transition...
Jack Drury is a really promising prospect and Honka still has that boom or bust label...
If we're gonna commit to a tear down and build I think we should take what we can get... He's older than a lot of us realize too

Yeah I'm just thinking a difference between forwards and defense, etc.
I really hope it's one of the two in the package though... I'd almost risk saying I'd prefer Drysdale to be completely honest
