This team wouldn't have gotten swept, thats for sure

Inspired by Babatunde...uh oh. 🤭

Well it wasn't a bad idea lol. I just took the Klingberg trade that he suggested and adjusted it.

No keeper

Campbell could be okay or Skinner could be okay, and they would still have a good chance.

Skinner could be the next Binnington or Murray too.

So your solution to a bad D-core is to get one decent defender & another offensive defensemen?

It's not like they will have much options, Klingberg over Barrie is an upgrade and makes their PP more deadly, which is a + in the playoffs. Kulikov is an upgrade on most. Adding Toews will allow them to have 3 lines who can actually do something. If they are down a goal and really need one, they can send out Toews, Draisaitl, McDavid, Klingberg and probably Nurse.

It's not a perfect team but these moves improve their chances significantly.

The only person who can do anything on that 3rd line is Toews

Toews has been playing with trash teammates for a while as long as they have someone there contributing in some way, it's just about having a scoring threat on each line. They could put RNH with him and have McLeod with McDavid and Holloway. They have options.
