Easier said than done.

I think we only need 2 top 6 wingers. I think you expect one of Ferland or Colborne to develop into the other. There's a few different avenues
1. Draft top 5
2. Trade one or two 2nd rounders for a 2nd line forward
3. Sign a 1st or 2nd line UFA this summer after moving Wideman's salary out
4. Having one of our prospects mature. I wouldn't be pencilling in any of them personally.
I don't think it's inconceivable Treliving adds 2 legit top 6 forwards. Who saw him adding Hamilton last offseason? I could see him adding a future top 6 guy at the draft and trading for a top 6 winger at the draft and adding one in free agency. Our depth problems could be solved quite quickly with some Treliving magic.
