this team has way too many what if and why not just trade a 1st for Laine besides trading our best offensive prospect. Also lol at that Horrendous defence.

Klingberg is done. He may try to play in Europe, but with his back, he shouldn't be in the NHL
Dumba will sign more than $1.5M with another team.

So your defense needs a lot of work with no cap space to do it. Forget about PLD, trade garland for a defenseman instead and either keep Dumba at a higher cap hit, or choose someone like Matt Roy. Or forget about Pageau and see if you can land quantity defensemen over quality ones. 3-4 prove it deals for $1M - $2M each and hope at a couple hit.

way too much happening

Juulsen is a pylon. He's worthless.

He’s significantly better than Stanley

No to Stanley, no to taking on Pageau, no to trading our best prospect for Laine, no to taking on Dubois and trading Garland, and no to that horrendous defense
