Quoting: OldNYIfan
I think that you might have your eye on a RW prospect (or right-shooting C who could become a RW) to arrive when Anderson and Gallagher finally age out. LeTourneau is one good possibility; how about local boys Sam O'Reilly from London or Jett Luchanko from Guelph? Further afield, there's the sizeable Adam Jecho from Edmonton or even Matvei Gridin from the USHL, who is actually a leftie but has some gaudy numbers.
Basha and Beaudoin are certainly reasonable options if you're not going to be limited by positional need.
I think MTL already has that with Beck and Kapanen. With Suzuki and Dach both being Righty's, it would make sense to convert one or both of Beck and Kapanen to RW. Roy although a lefty, plays RW, and then there's Mesar. So LW (or left shooting centers) are a much greater priority imo.
After Slafkovsky (who's been playing RW) and Newhook, there's not that much high end prospects at LW. There's Farrell, Tuch, and F.Xhekaj, that's it.
So if MTL were to prioritize by position-ish, I'd say:
#1 C / LW (essentially left shooting forwards)
#2 Goalie (not sure MTL are content with Montembeault and Primeau
long term, and they don't want to put all their eggs in Fowler's basket)
#3 RD (I think MTL will move on from Barron, and with Reinbacher and Mailloux pretty much on the cusp of being full-time NHLers, there's nothing left after them, maybe Konyushkov and Kostenko, but they are long shots. Would make sense to grab another one, which is why I suggested Kleber or Badinka)
#4 C / RW (essentially right shooting forwards)
*big gap*
#5 LD (no need across the board, fully stocked now and in the future)
