Don't touch the team in drastic ways: just bring in stopgaps and prospects for the season. Even standing pat and allowing Talbot, Klefbom, Lucic, and Larsson to regain form will see the team improve. Having a few Fins around should help with Puljujarvi's game and his English. Consistent scoring in the bottom-6 might be a hassle, but if Puljujarvi finds his game, it shouldn't be an issue.

Odds of finding a bonafide top-2 RHD this season, be it via draft or free agency, is slim. There are more options next season, and with there now being some semblance of a prospect pool at the AHL level, moving a pick+ for said RHD becomes less painful. Alternatively, hope that one of Bear, Mantha, Berglund, JBD, or Andersson can find themselves with top-4 potential within a couple years and run the whole defense by committee.

2020 1st and 2nd Round picks should be used to jettison Sekera and Russell from the roster next July.

      Don't think Bulat will last that long.

      I haven't seen him within the first 5 rounds on a lot of boards, and eliteprospects don't have him listed with any official lists. Nevermind that central scouting doesn't even have him on their European skaters list.

      Any other potential steals that you think could be had with that 6th rounder?

      Well then maybe you're right haha I just figured by the way people talk about him he'd go around 4. But yeah maybe he'll last until the 6th.

      2 guys I have going in the 6th round that I want are G Eric Green and C Damien Girioux. I'm a Caps fan so you can't have them!

      There's an outside chance, but it implies that one of Boqvist or Hughes is available at #10 and I just can't see that happening. I think the highest he'd go is 8th to Chicago. Unless the Rangers are suddenly bullish on him, I see him being available at #10.

      1. Dahlin
      2. Svechnikov
      3. Zadina
      4. Dobson
      5. Wahlstrom
      6. Bouchard
      7. Tkachuk
      8. Hughes
      9. Boqvist / Smith
      10. Kotkaniemi / Boqvist

      What does your top 10 look like, out of curiosity?

      Top 10 in terms of players based on talent or where i think they land with the team that picks them?
