Description
Looks like the avs are waiting for someone, they have a glaring hole at 3rw or 4c and maybe 6D.

I wonder if they are content for some of the bigger names to go without deals and grab a guy like they did with e-rod last season. Maybe they're just waiting to see what the price of colton is before making their move

waiting for Colton deal. Same reason to not QO Malgin. I wonder, assuming there's space enough, bringing Malgin back to round out line 3?

Kane would be super sweet on the third line with Colton and Wood creating havoc allowing him to be a play driver and having a play driver on each of the top 3 lines or even allowing Lehkonen to drop down with RC and MW and just having 2 insane forechecking lines but when is he ready to play?

Most likely waiting for the Colton signing to determine how much cap is left.

As for your list, I think Comtois may be untouchable until this 2018 world juniors investigation is complete.

The others on the list are viable options
