Thread: MTL TDL 20-21 Needs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLFAN27</b></div><div>1. Very true. Not sure there's anyone out there like that besides Hall and I'm not sure he's going to be on the market bc BUF is trying to win with Eichel. If they really fall off he could be on the market.
2. Toffoli is likely going to be playing LW for a while with Anderson, Caufield, and Gallagher being our top 9 RW's in the near future.
3. RHD prospects is an area I expect them to address in the next few offseasons.</div></div>

1. Yeah I am not sure who we could get that wouldn't cost too much in prospects or roster players.
2. Completely agree but was thinking for this season at least then 2-3 years down the road one of Toffoli or Anderson would be gone. Just a hunch more than anything else.
3. I thought that was the plan this season but they did not draft a single RHD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLFAN27</b></div><div>For 1, Chiarot plays well alongside Weber but we could certainly be better at that position. They need someone who is truly a 1LD to be the bridge between now and when Romanov becomes a top pairing LD which is still won't be until the 21-22 or 22-23 season. Guhle and Norlinder could become top D-men but that's still at least another 3-5 years away. For 2, fair enough. That's just a personal thing. I'd like someone who shoots more on the 2nd unit. (Like you mentioned) They have players who can shoot but they never do. (Exp: KK, Romanov). For 3, I should have clarified I meant trade Byron and get a similar player for cheaper in order to maintain our great depth and get more cap space. Those are my thoughts if you disagree that's OK.</div></div>

I just think our most glaring holes are different.

1. A game changing impact player, a guy who can take control of the game and win the game on his own even if we are trailing by 2 or 3 goals at the halfway point of the game.
2. A true top 9 LW. Toffoli does alright but I feel like moving him back to his natural side would maximize his effectiveness. Lehkonen does not score enough to be a top 9 LWer. Frolik may be the guy to fill that hole or Tuch or Mysak in 1-3 years.
3. Top tier RHD prospects. Brook and Fleury are decent prospects but we need to add more to ensure that we do not end up with a major hole in our lineup in 3-5 years when Weber and Petry are gone.
