Justin Holl is not a top pair defenseman

I am aware of that. but I am also not a magician who can pull a top pairing D out of a hat.

I was considering adding on the free agenet market, but there is no one worth adding

Why not? You made a young player playing in the top six sign for 5 years at 2.5 million which is a laugh out loud funny notion, and you somehow got two good first round picks + two players out of marner. Why stop there?

that is a fair point. I would definitley keep the draft pick from this year, as I think they can get either Holtz or Raymond who both can be solid top 6 wingers, but yes, maybe trade around future assets for a top 4 D

Why not just make one up? Have some random guy from Russia sign for the league minimum for 7 years. It’s about as realistic as the rest of it.
