During the Offseason I think it would be fun to create lists or have some fun creating a list of the top players or something

issue is Wood does not fit CJ criteria. Mainly due to term.

There have already been a few comments by 2 people other than me so here is a quick list of topics I'd like to discuss:

-how to add defense to WIN considering it isn't a particularly attractive destination
-how to add centers to MIN
-how to add offensive to ARI
-where RNH could land if he decides to leave EDM
-what a realistic CLB rebuild would look like
-the upcoming draft
-the upcoming FA class

-how to add defense to WIN considering it isn't a particularly attractive destination
They have some decent young prospects that could help. I don't get why Laine wasn't traded for a dman but whatever maybe trade Dubois. Or try for Hamilton maybe he would like it there?
-how to add centers to MIN
Eichel
-how to add offensive to ARI
Not sure, the franchise is kind of in a horrible spot
-where RNH could land if he decides to leave EDM
-what a realistic CLB rebuild would look like
-the upcoming draft
Sabres are first baby. Powers looked good recently
-the upcoming FA class
Sabres shouldn't sign anyone major IMO unless its Hamilton or another RD. or a young player.

Over obviously...

He’ll hopefully get signed by Vancouver.

Agreed. That's some Benning bait right there.
