so you either draft, trade or sign for it...
imo they should be increasing the drafting of skilled players, because the the defensive ledger is pretty stocked whereas the offensive side is not
side note: man, we need to get lucky with an Eric Staal type UFA signing... guy has found the fountain of youth in minny

Couldn’t agree more. I saw the Jets vs the Stars game just a couple days ago and the Stars were absolutely crushed by the sheer skill and talent of the Jets. Then they shut us out and only needed a lousy goal on Gillies to beat us.
There’s a stark contrast in offensive firepower from our incredibly average group of finishers vs the top tier. Just watch William Nylander’s assist tonight and tell me if Sam Bennett could ever pull an individual move like that.
Nylander and Ehlers are absolute offensive dynamos and it kind of makes me sad that Bennett has such a hard time creating a single scoring chance.
