Description
This probably won't happen, but the forwards would be stacked if they get Lafrenire. Either way I think they take a winger in next year's draft, and luckily there are plenty of good ones. I don't think they trade Glendening this season, and I doubt there will be much interest in their defense at the TDL.

Cholo and Mo have potential to be a top pairing, but both probably need a couple years with the big club to reach that potential. McIsaac and Lindstrom should be ready to jump in when Nemeth's contract is up in 2 years. Kaski and Bowey will be fighting to get resigned this year. I'm giving the edge to Bowey at the moment, but Kaski's offensive style might be a better complement to Nemeth's defensive style.

I could see AA putting up Duchene numbers this season and getting a similar contract. Even if this is too much money for Bert, Mantha and AA, they have a ton of cap space next year, and that's not even counting Z's LTIR.

They're still a goalie short of anything higher than 4th in the Atlantic... Hopefully Larsson pulls a Binnington. There are some decent UFAs as well, like Lehner, Markstrom, Greiss, and Kuemper who could buy some time for Larsson and Petruzzelli to develop.

2020-21 Atlantic Standings:
1 - Tampa Bay
2 - Florida
3 - Boston
4 - Toronto
5 - Buffalo
6 - Detroit
7 - Montreal
8 - Ottawa

I think the "cup window" for Tampa and Florida will only be a couple years after 2021. Boston and Toronto will be trending down. Buffalo and Detroit will be trending up. Montreal will be trying to rebuild while Ottawa will be in the middle of theirs.

Detroit should be over ripening as many of their waiver exempt prospects as possible this season in the AHL and should be trying to tank for an early pick.
If any of the UFA's garner interest at the TDL then trade them for whatever.
