Yeah, I really only have two issues with the way this team is constructed.

1) we’ve effectively lost all of our NHL depth at defense. Harrington is what he is - a 7th D, nothing more. While I do think Kukan will hopefully have a breakout season (he looked real good last year in limited action and at the worlds), I’d feel much more comfortavle not having to rely on him, Harrington, and Carlsson if Z isn’t ready to go in October.

2) since we can’t upgrade our top-6 C, I think we desperately need to add another top-6 winger. I think Jenner could be used as trade bait to do so. Maybe let Milano see if he can be that, but I’d also feel more comfortable bringing in someone through a trade. Then let Milano and Foligno fight over the 3/4 LW spots. Then we’d have some real depth at wing.

Thread: If Panarin is traded...
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JarmoK</b></div><div>I think the Tampa trade is perfect. Not sure we want to give away a ton of high draft picks though. Don’t think the NYR trade makes sense and would rather not sign JVR to such a huge contract.</div></div>

Our left-wing depth is quite bare if we trade Panarin for a RW (Kucherov) - especially if Foligno is forced to play center again. It's absolutely necessary to add another top-6 LWer because do we really want Foligno or Milano playing on the top-line?

Over on HF, Rangers fans seem to be a fan of the proposed deal around Jenner/Hayes/Vesey. This would allow us to add another depth winger, and also a middle-6 C to push Dubinsky down to the fourth line.

The cap still works for next season when Kuch/Bob/Z all need new contracts. We could buy out or trade Dubinsky, trade Savard, etc. to make enough room. That shouldn't be a concern.
