Description

With Jack Quinn out due to injury I explore some options to replace his potential production. My thought is they replace him with a proven player and scratch a 4th liner (greenway**, Okposo, jost) when quinn returns.

I will make 3-5 UFA signings and a couple trades just as ideas. In reality only one move is expected so dont think im signing 100 guys here. ****IGNORE THE CONTRACTS AND DOLLAR AMOUNTS***** I give them, as they will all be the same. I'm just getting the player in the lineup to see it.

I will not be addressing the defense or goaltending in this AGM.

Bunting and Debrincat would be long term additions while the rest would likely be used at the deadline for captial

Buffalo doesn't need to do that, they have internal options and now that Bertuzzi is going to FA I would rather spend the money on him then Bunting and Cat

30 games is almost half the year lol. This is a year they NEED to make the playoffs. Im not saying replace the guy, im saying supplement his production and then use that player to upgrade a lower guy on the roster to improve the squad. Not a horrible idea

Sens accept

I'd say that kind of return is the best case scenario if the market is hot for a top line scorer
