They have the personnel.

Just need to employ the best system.

And pray Blackwood has his head screwed on right.

Overall I like it, but I have some minor criticisms:

- Wood is too risky to give more than a fourth line assignment
- We have no proven starter in net
- Instead of that suboptimal Arizona trade, give Wood the fourth line spot and sign Lyubushkin or Subban to play 3RD. Get a draft pick for Johnsson and the third line can be Yegor Boqvist Mercer

I just figured we have the FWD depth so Foote for Timmins (getting bigger on the back end) would make sense. Better opportunity in AZ for Foote. And Johnsson for Ritchie (again, getting bigger) would make sense as well for NJ. Unsure about for AZ though

Minnesota declines. Tomas tatar is nothing piece. Minnesota doesn't need a d prospect

We have one of the biggest D corps already with Hamilton, Graves, and Bahl. No reason to trade a young prospect for one year of Ritchie and no reason to trade for Timmins when depth can be gotten for free in UFA

Not bad but I dont understand paying Wood $3 mil to be a 4th line winger and dropping Yegor to a 3rd line wing role on his off wing. Whenever I see that in a roster, might as well trade him for a bottom 6 asset or fill another need on the team
