I think next year they're gonna go for it. THey'll have an insane blue line if they can trade Gus, Forsling, maybe Murphy or Koekoek and maybe even find a taker for Seabs if he'll wave. They can bring up Jokiharju, Boqvist, Mitchell, and maybe Krys for next season. Panarin wants to come back to Chicago. That's why he's "testing" free agency. He misses playing with Patrick Kane. The top line will be loaded with Toews, Kane, and Panarin. Second line will be same as this year. I don't think at this point we'll get anything outstanding from the draft unless it's a top 15 pick. Right now, and with a big win tonight, we'll be in a good position. We won't catch Winnipeg or Nashville but we should be able to make it in as the Wild Card team. I'm OK with trading 1st or 2nd round picks for this and next year if we can get a better 3rd line center and some depth players. I don't wanna mess with the defence until next year preseason. We need to see who will be ready. Unless we trade for a rental defenseman, there's no point in making a move on the backend. I think Crow will be back for the playoffs and if our top 6 can produce like they have been, along with big saves from Crow and good D from our top 4, we'll be OK. I think if we are gonna face Peg or Smashville in the first round, we'll need to add some grit. Possible trade with St. Louis or Vegas for some better grit and depth?
