Description

A group I belong to suggests that the biggest organizational depth problem the Habs have now is at LW.

So, with the offer being your choice of Tatar, Bryon, Kulak and virtually any pick, what's the best LWer you would offer the Habs in trade?

The ideal target for the Habs would be young and have term and at least top 6 potential, even if it is a year or two away.

The reasoning behind all this is that the Habs are unlikely to resign Tatar, Bryon is slowing down and Poehling is a C who might play LW, but didn't get a lick of play off time because of conditioning issues. Where he plays - if he plays in the show - is a mystery.

As such, the Hab's LW depth after this season is Drouin-Toffoli (if he plays his off wing) - Lekhoken, or perhaps just Drouin-Lekhoken if the Anderson experiment doesn't pan out and Toffoli plays RW.

That's not great depth. And there's no one beyond Poehling in the prospect pool who looks like they're NHL caliber talent.

LW is probably our weakest position right now.
