yeah, they will need to be more than a one trick pony next season

hopefully Dach will be healthy next season or they have a B plan coming up in the off season

Hopefully they can get a winger for Dach and Newhook.

I'm still not sold on Newhook beeing on the top6.
I would much prefer to have him on the 3rd, ready to move up in case of an injury. we know that can happen sometimes...

I think it will be a tough task to get 2 top 6 wingers over the summer.

I expect 1 via trade, Newhook will get his chance in the top 6, and if he does not cut it, Armia will be ready to take his spot.

sure, but if they are smart they will go after another centre

Centres can play on the wing. Wingers can't play centre.

I think Roy should make the team as well next season

They will add most likely one top 6 forward but I think you can forget about 2 in the same summer.

If Dach stays healthy, you already have a much better team and Newhook would look way better. But I see it as a big if at this point. Thats why they should aim to get another centre ready if Dach goes down once again. And not a winger.

if Roy is good enough to make the top6 sure, why not?
because we already have more than enough 3rd liners. Dvorak, Anderson, Gallagher, RHP, Armia... Newhook in my book.
what we need is elite talent to play top minutes.

I dont know what is the ceilling with Roy, he might be a top 6 somewhere down the road

as much as you are not convinced about Newhook, most if not all the guys you just named should come back next season. They wont add two top 6 forwards to that bunch, even if you dont see them as top 6 forwards, right or wrong.

Like I said, the main focus and the main problem should be what do we do if (or once) Dach goes down once again.

That defense will need to be better at some point as well. Price is gone
