That is exactly what I want, just sign Gardiner. No need to make all these blockbuster trades that other ACGMs suggest. I think we have a realistic shot aswell for Jake. It's either MTL or VAN imo
Edit: Tho id like to keep some of the lines the way they are now tbh. No biggie tho, good job

Thanks man I completely agree! I did play around with the lines, but I could see them staying similar to this years as well.

Its nit-picky but I would like an upgrade at 4C over Peca, a face-off specialist who is a bit better defensively. I am not sure who. Right now Chaput is doing a better job there, and Peca has been pushed to the wing. But it could be someone else. But this is what they should do, for the first time in years they have a deep farm system and no sense trading away any important assets.

Don't know why Habs fans love Gardiner lol. He's a giveaway machine

So are Burns, Rielly, Ekblad, Karlsson, Heiskanen, and Lindholm. But I do see your point. Look at his Thru%. Ouch. MTL fans want Gardiner because him and Edler are the only two minute eating quality LHDs on the market next offseason, and Gardiner is 5 years younger than Edler, who I believe is much more well rounded.

Our current LD give the puck away so much as it is that I am not sure we'll notice any difference

you cant see Poehling, Brook or Suzuki making the team?
