Order of operations:
1. Sign Letang
2. If you can’t do 1, sign Klingberg
3. If you can’t do 1 or 2, sign defensive physical guys like you have and have a deep d core that focuses solely on defending and ball out of offence.

The problem with this team is you didnt ball out on offense enough

Marchment was nearly a point per game player last year and Rackell was money with Sid. Agree Letang #1 by a mile but hard pass on Klingberg. This team was based on getting bigger and tougher with higher quality throughout the roster.

Letang does go, it's an absolute necessity to get at least 1 PP QB. This team has zero. Who plays the point on PP 1 with Geno(which is not optimal to begin with)?

Matheson would be tested first.

And why is PP1 with Geno not ideal?
