My off-season wish list:
1. Draft top 5, hopefully get a player that can slot in next season. Matthews would be a dream, one of the Finns would be great too.
2. Clear out some cap, Wideman, Engelland, Smid, Stajan, Raymond. Whether it's trades, buy outs, LTIR, whatever, just clear some cap.
3. Add a young top six forward, try to pry Hayes or Kreider out of NYR. Both are RFA's along with Miller and all will be getting raises so maybe they look to move one.
4. Sign Reimer to be the starter, and get/keep a young back up that can push him. If it's Ortio great, if not maybe look to trade for Kuemper out of Minnesota, or Raanta as a UFA.
5. Hamonic is available, and wants to be in Western Canada. Get him, he will solidify our D-core with a big, mobile, defensively responsible PMD, and better us than Edmonton, Vancouver or Winnipeg.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Hayes
M Ferland - Bennett - Frolik
Colborne - Backlund - Laine
L Bouma - D. Grant - Hathaway
Bollig/Jooris
TJ Brodie - Hamonic
Giordano - Hamilton
Jokipakka - Nakladal
Wotherspoon
Reimer
Ortio
Assets available to trade for Hayes and Hamonic:
Stars 1st/2nd
Flames 2nd
Panthers 2nd
All other picks besides Flames 2017 1st
Shinkaruk, Poirier, Jankowski, Klimchuk, Hickey, etc
Pretty much anything but what's on the above roster, the 2016 or 2017 1st round picks and Gillies.
