burakovsky seems like a no brainer. he has good hands and for a low cost could be a legit winger which you need more and more of

We can only utilize an efficient three headed monster at center if everyone has good enough wingers, which Nuge doesn’t have here.
I think we’ll be a great team if our bottom 6 is solid defensively with some offense and our top 6 was jam packed offensively. That being said I think Draisaitl or Nuge can be a full time winger until we get those assets.

Try Brown/Burakovsky-McDavid-Draisaitl
Then, Brown-Burakovsky-Nuge-X

I don’t think Rieder works on this team with his 2 mill cap, I also don’t think Rattie’s consistent enough to be a top 6 player, he’s a fringe at this point. So additional trades for a right handed Scoring top 6 winger and a pivotal defensive 3rd line center that can help the PK and provide decent offense would help this team back to form
