Bottom 7 finish.

I like everything you've done here (although the Schenn contract might be high), especially the Graves signing (which the Kings should make if they can't re-up Gavrikov), and if this isn't a playoff team, at least with a healthy Drysdale and an improved defense, the Ducks won't be the embarrassment that they have been this year (whether or not Bedard or Adam Fantilli or Leo Carlsson makes the NHL right away).

Don't forget about re-signing Axel Andersson, too. And the line combinations would be quite different.

I've said it before, and will say it again until it finally happens...step one is hiring a new coach who puts a focus on a structured defensive game.

After that, I'm fine with the moves (I'd rather Holl than Schenn), but think you're a bit rich on the Zegras contract (Comps are Cozens, Boldy, Suzuki), and Terry. I think adding Graves would be excellent, but I wonder about the potential impact of blocking prospects...

End of the day-No, it's not a playoff team (yet!). I'd imagine we'll see Mintyukov at the start of the season for his 9 games, mayyyybe Luneau as well(?), then Zellweger at some point. Will also be interesting to see where Lacombe heads, given that I'd imagine him agreeing to sign likely hedged on a promise to be on the NHL roster.

Is it a playoff team? No, I don't think it is yet, might have a shot at a wildcard spot with a better HC. Graves is a great get, but as Drysdale's running mate, schenn deal is too rich to be a third line guy, but achenn is a great defenseman, though getting rather up there in years. We really do need a number 1 RHD for Fowler for a bit, I don't think Fowler Drysdale works as a pairing.

Couple of other minor things, Bedard is right shot, so he starts on RW. I'd run the following forward lines.
Henrique-Zegras-Terry
McTavish-Strome-Bedard
Comtois-Lundeatrom-Vatrano
Jones-Gawdin-McGinn

I hate to bench Silf but he just saps the offense from whatever line he's on.
