<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bossy</b></div><div>I’m not sure Johnny Gaudreau is the guy for the Isles. I agree that Isles need is top LW. My number 1 choice would be Forsberg if he is available but it would require a huge pay. I am on the fence with Hall but I can see it happening. In any case, I believe one or more of our LWers are going to be traded
My guess is Bellows and maybe Johnston as well.</div></div>

I'm not really keen on getting a rental. In my mind, rentals aren't what you take to get you over the hump, they're what you take when you're already a frontrunner and you want that extra push just to be sure. I can see us going on a great run this year, but I really don't see us winning the Cup. Which is why I want a player with term that'll still be around next year.

My top three targets are Gaudreau (we need skill and speed, he has it), Rakell (maybe not a top line guy, but he'd be a great 2nd line scorer to push talent further down the roster) and Forsberg (the Preds likely want to keep him to mold their younger guys, so he'd be expensive, but a great fit into a Trotz system).
