They also need a real starting goalie (Stuart Skinner doesn't count either)

A good 3C would pretty much solve the issues up front. If I was Edmonton I would have been hard after Gourde in the offseason. Another aggressive move would have been Gibson. Both would have left the prospect cupboard depleted but the team would be a lot better.

1 top 6 forward

2 top 4 defenseman

1 Starting Goaltender

Smith could make a good run, but next year for sure. Add it to the list.
