Don't want to trade Savoie and will probably need 2023 1st. I don't know why we need offensive players at all, we have enough of them, plus Savoie, Kulich and Rosen are on the way. Olofsson already looks superfluous.

Bc Keller is a legit superstar and you can’t have enough of those types of players. Chances are only 2 of the big 4 forward prospects become full time NHLers, and only 1 becomes a true top6 star player.

I disagree.I don't see the point in this. Our attack is fine, we need more Savoie type than Keller. We score a lot, but our forwards not good in defense, we bad on FO, we need forwards who can play defense, forecheck, PK, with a good motor. Savoie is such a forward in the potential and there is no point in trading him, we will need his ELC. IMO
