Turris would have been excellent. I am still wondering if there's any possibility we could snag Ryan O'Reilly. Jankowski+D prospect maybe?
Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Bennett-Ryan O'Reilly- Tkachuk
(signed player or prospect (mangiapane?))- Backlund- Frolik
Lazar-Shore-Brouwer
That is a much stronger lineup.

You need either an high end centre or a winger.
An O'Reilly type or a Hoffman/Stone type for more scoring prowess.
Leverage what we have which is organizational defense depth and fill the whole up front.
I think Dube should be able to maybe make the jump next year on Backlund and Frolik's line.
I'd think about trading Bennett with a D for a RW.
