XXXXX
XXXXX = Players we need
So by the looks of it we still need depth on the left wing (scoring wingers with size) and third/fourth line grit, toughness and size to play, fight and add energy.
On defense, we have a great group of young talent in Subban, Weber, Yemelin, Tinordi and Beaulieu but if Mitera does not pan out, we need a defensive defenseman with size, grit and toughness, a player like Phaneuf.

I would have Plekanec in there, he has 4 more years on his contract I believe and is the center with the most upside we have, Eller is a better #2 and LL can play RW.
In terms of defensive d-men with size, what do you consider 6'7" Tinordi and 6'2" 220lbs Yemelin? We also have guys like Ellis Stejksal and Pateryn as that style of d-man, plus Dietz.
