Normally i'd love this but if we move Danault its not to bring in a Center as we still need to move Domi to wing as is

I actually love the package though so ignoring MTL's got way to many Centers right now its value is fair.
Personally i'd love Brendan Lemieux in the package as he's currently everything MTL needs adding Size and Hitting power with the added benefit of him being a good fighter known to protect his team mates which we need Desperately.

Howdens better then Lemieux its just MTL's LW Is our issue long term as is the lack of hitting power in our bottom 6 since Thompson departed.
I know NYR likely wouldnt want to give up Lemieux but its how you get this deal done i think as we simply dont need another center unless he can put up 20-30 points a year while Hitting , Blocking shots and winning 53-55% faceoffs .

Domi's been great up until the Pandemic with 116 points in 154 games since switching to Center for the first time since AA hockey with a 44% win rate year one and 49% win rate year two as he becomes more well rounded and adjusted to the position. Suzuki's been a stud and needs no hype . Kotkanemi has come back strong with the Pandemic buying him the time he needed to heal his injuries and heal his body . Evans and Poehling could both make a case for playing 4th Center with Evans earning the right to play 4th line RW thus far and looking for an upgrade .

Tatar-Suzuki-Gallagher
Drouin-Domi-Armia
Byron-Kotkanemi-Lehkonen
Lemieux-Poehling-Evans(size,speed and with grit will see them get 11-13 minutes in MTL system before special teams as long as the hit often and hard.)

MTL in this scenario is in a prime position and they could also bring Thompson back to help Poehling manage the work load hoping he has even half the impact on Poehling he had playing 20 games with Suzuki as Nick credits him for turning his season around it only makes sense to go to the well again with Poehling this time.
