That would make them ridiculously good down the middle without a doubt but who’s playing in goal?
That's the big question, I think the whole point of LA trading for MTL's 2nd is to give them time to figure that out. I don't think it will be Hellebuyck but maybe they re-sign Korpisalo once he figures out his market value or they trade for Vejmelka.
Currently, they have 9M and 6 spots left, if they deal Arvidsson and Iafallo (8.25M), they could fit in Dubois but then it's 9M for 7 spots, Clarke/Spence + Bjornfot+ Edler will probably be on the squad filling 3 spots for up to 3M maybe. Leaves them with 6M for 4 spots, one being the goalie.
They need to sign two of Anderson-Dolan, MacEwan, and Kupari + a goalie with that money. As for Vilardi, I think he gets traded for Dubois. That should allow for a 3.5M-4M goalie (could be Hellebuyck with retention), that's assuming Dubois is willing to take 8.25M.
