Wouldn't like to see them go after a UFA although I am a bit interested in Weal. I think the trade cupboard is pretty empty unless someone is interested in a B prospect like Mangiapane or Klimchuk for an older RW.
With Ferland having good chemistry with them to end the year that is where I'd start out. I think Lazar should be the next person who gets a shot, he can skate with them although I don't know if he has the hands, he sure seems to have great upside and you turn him into a real valuable asset to boot if he rides shotgun with those guys and picks up 40-50 pts.
Go with an internal option to start the year as the UFA list is horrible.
Next year Mark Stone, Hornqvist and Atkinson are all UFAs and I think better options.
