Description

Following a very solid TDL, I firmly believe that GMPV is in full tank for Bedard mode. That said, I think the following line-up would be the dream in terms of the young players to take forward for the 2023-24 season. Obviously, they'll be other prospects that I haven't included (and some that don't make it to the NHL level) and more veterans to balance out the line-up, but I just wanted to have some fun and show what a monster team we could have if all goes according to plan (I'm aware it never does).

Thoughts on areas of improvement? D still seems weak without a standout #1D. I'm still hoping Drysdale can step up and be that guy. We also need to get tougher. GMPV talked about adding character guys. That said, I'm not sure Comtois lasts in ANA (showed up out of shape to camp) and I'm sure we'll be adding some hardened vets. Would love Des to come back.

I'm hoping that Sonny Milano and Simon Benoit continue their development and that we'd hang onto them.

Quoting: OldNYIfan

I'm hoping that Sonny Milano and Simon Benoit continue their development and that we'd hang onto them.

I'm totally open to that. I feel Milano is kind of riding Zegras and that chemistry. I'd be cautious with him and his next contract, but I'm totally open to him stepping up and becoming a staple for us. As far as Benoit, I've been a big fan of his since he was first called. Tbh, I never understood how Larson was getting the call above him. He's a big body who isn't afraid to throw it around.

Anyway, we'll need veterans and I'm sure we'll add them in some how. Just illustrating what I believe GMPV's plan is i.e. tank for Bedard, and what a beast line-up that would be. Could be a dynasty in the making.
