Description

For the big club:

1- Draft a forward. Trade up if possible.

2- We need to find a top 6 winger for Dach, but I would like to keep Newhook as 3rd C with Armia and Gally - that line is rocking.

3- Also, while the young LD are ready to rock - Guhle, Hutson , Xhekaj/Harris/Struble, the RD prospect are not quite there yet : Mailloux and Reinbacher need more seasoning in the AHL for at least 2 seasons. As such, I propose to sign a Vet RD along with Savard to play with the young LD and mentor them.

I think a guy like Tanev would be the perfect fit - a D-first RD, who at 34 years old, is likely to accept a 2 year contract with an AAV over market value (because the habs can afford it).

He would serve as a stop gap that will allow the habs time to develop their young RHD properly.

Kent just said that they could improve RD position but for max one year. They don’t want to impeed on Reinbacher, Mailloux, Barron progressions.

Gourde might be the answer to getting someone for the second line, but what about Roy -- Gourde -- Dach?

Why are the jackets trading down for a RD that won’t make even make the team? The jackets will just draft lindstrom themselves. Value wise you need to include the jets first but I still don’t think the jackets do it unless lindstrom, levshunov, or demidov are all off the board

Sign or get a huge physical D-first then at tdl trade Savard. Nothing to block nor stop kids in the pipeline

That could also work - but long term, I would like to develop Dach as a Center.
