Quoting: Hedman77
Are you saying Vatanen or Virtanen
He means Vatanen,it's obv... but i'm not sure if he is good enough... i think we need better players... and a couple of defensive forwards...
I've seen Risto play couple of times, and i don't think he is the solution so i wouldn't want him atm... He would just not help too much, he is like Schenn 2.0, little better but is that enough? He costs a lot, so i think we should just forgot about Risto, last time i heard he said he is happy in Buffalo anyways couple months ago...
Pesce = untouchable, Doughty = we can't afford the caphit
Josh Manson is my pick right now from your list or Hamonic. But I'm not sure if the season can be saved with 1 defender... and should we go allin with our playstyle(= not playoff hockey). I don't think so...
Until Cooper can't teach Stamkos,Gourde,Johnson etc... to defend... no point of doing any other trades... we jus't can't allow 5 goals / every good team we face... it's not gonna end well...
4-5 more weeks and i'm starting to let this season go... i see you have hopes...good for you... but what team with this playstyle we can surely beat in playoffs.
I can name only 3:
And these teams can miss the playoffs, although i would be shocked if Toronto misses it, it's a more than 20% probability. So things are not good right now... Last year we had so much better chance, if it's not Columbus... but we were unlucky... they went allin... and they fought hard... and they swept us... the problem is: we are way worse than any point of last year for months now... so a first round exit is not a surprise anymore in the 2019/2020 playoffs...
My current pick for Stanley-cup champs 2019/2020 season:

(preseason it was VGK/Tampa not biased hahaaaa
