This team is too top heavy. The top 4 are really good but can be contained in tight-checking, physical games. while the top 4 played a big role, what really won the Cup was having 9 solid forwards, 3 full lines that just came at you in wave after wave, tiring out the opposition. I feel 1 of the top 4 needs to be traded to acquire top 9 depth.
I really would love to get Ryan O'Reilly and Steve Downie from the Avs. Just the kind of players we need. Obviously Kane has to go the other way to get it done. Im sure we will need to add other things. A guy like Kruger or Stalberg plus. or picks and prospects.
We need an upgrade on D. I really hope we can land Suter and a number 5 that is a pain to play against like Jackman or Allen. Then we can trade Nik H. A team like Philly seems a good destination for him. They probably won't have Pronger or Carle and need solid stay-at-home types anyway. They have a glut of forwards. Maybe a guy like Van Riemsdyk can be had. He has been inconsistent but might do well on the Hawks
