You need to have an honest conversation about your disgusting GM, who was complicit in the sexual assaults of 3 young men.

Look, so the GM thought BoyzIIMen was a delivery service, it could be worse. He could've signed Demko for more than a 3 hour contract knowing he'd be broken immediately after.

Yes, there needs to be an upgrade in nets, without a doubt, but going into the playoffs with this roster is actually quite pathetic. There are several holes to fill on this roster for it to be remotely competitive.

RNH-McDavid-Hyman
NEED-Draisaitl-Arvidsson
Janmark-Henrique-Brown
NEED-NEED-NEED

Ekholm-NEED
Nurse-Bouchard
NEED-NEED

NEED
Skinner

Where/When does Kane fit back in? Can Perry keep up for one more year? Jeff Skinner will be traded but I doubt anything meaningful comes back.
I would absolutely hate trading RNH but he seems to be one of the only pieces to get a decent return (I think I'd still keep him though). Trading Bouchard is a no-brainer, he's the #1 most overrated player in the NHL but someone will overpay for him. I'd move him to the AHL before paying him about $3m. Try to yank Dobson from NYI along with another good player and offer Bouchard ++

Not going to touch on the Bouchard stuff with you anymore because it's clear that is a non starter for discussion.

In terms of NEED spots for the deadline, you are looking at something far more like this:

RNH-McDavid-Hyman
NEED-Draisaitl-Savoie
Arvidsson-Henrique-Brown
Podkolzin-NEED-Perry

Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-NEED
Kulak-Emberson

Skinner
NEED

I would play the hell out of Savoie and keep him with Draisaitl. The top 6 NEED spot could be Kane but we have no clue when he returns and it's unrealistic to expect him to be a top 6 player after basically a year off. The top 4 RD spot could be Kulak in a pinch and then switch to finding another vet LD to play with Emberson. Right now I would argue a goalie that can post a 0.910SV% is far more essential than another defenseman.

Ryan Poehlig and Risto. Flyers can retain 50% on Risto.

You got second rders?? Rangers will sell ya Smith and Lindgren for one second rder and a decent prospect…filling two of your needs. Retention available too!

Thanks Sean, I sure hope Savoie can fill that spot! The rest of what you've put together sounds "decent". Hopefully they can put a few things together at the deadline.

I'm happy to agree to disagree on Bouchard and of course I am hoping to be wrong.

cheers
