I'm not a fan of spending real assets to get Chiarot- not a top 4 Dman on most good teams, and he'd be a rental anyway...plus- NYR have in house solutions to the Nemeth problem that don't cost anything (Jones, Reunanen)...both would be an instant upgrade- and at very least either would showcase to build trade value.
Also, would not rush Othmann along...guy is killing it in OHL- but that's a far cry from NHL....let him start next year in Hartford then take it from there.
As far as the lineup: top 6 looks good...with the Chiarot comment above-I'd scrap that MTL deal. Instead, bring Kravtsov back after KHL season...whatever he and Drury have to do to get past their spat...both guys need each other!! Anyway- make a Chytl-Barron-Krav 3rd line. And then a Goodrow-Rooney-Reaves 4th line. I know Gallant would trust this "kids" line...so they'd get sheltered minutes. If this line (getting mainly O zone starts) succeeds then this team could be in for a deep run. If it doesn't go well, then maybe at least Krav gets to showcase himself and enable Drury to make a move.
