Sorry but this isn't a playoff team

Heum ok.. what do you suggest ? Because mtl add good défenseman with playoffs experience and still being good just not for their previous contract in vlasic and seabrook. They also get a great backup goalie and the cap hit doesn’t matter. In offense you trade Drouin who still has a value and you get a 3rd centerman with a good shape. You aren’t trading good assets and Drouin and mete aren’t physical enough to get a place on this roster for a playoff run. Suggest me something that will not affect the cap that much, neither affect the young core and draft picks and trying to still be competitive next year.

if everyone has career years....you might be able to make the argument this team could compete.
- I think that Kovi on the 2nd and Lehkonen on the 3rd need upgrading to be more effective offensively.
- I'd be surprised if Romanov starts the year in the NHL....i think he'll need some strong minutes in the AHL
- I like the idea of Roslovic......and maybe WPG likes the idea of united Drouin and Ehlers...
