As much as I want to see this core given every chance to win here in Calgary the thought of Monahan + Gaudreau + 1st for Eichel then sign Hall is an interesting thought. I still find it hard to do though because our 2nd line doesn’t improve and give us a truly lethal top 6 and I really think Monahan and Gaudreau are at times criminally under rated.
Hall - Eichel - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Mangiapane
It really is sad to not see Mony and Jonny in the top 6 but Hall/Eichel could be crazy dangerous especially with Lindholm being a gun as well.
Id prefer signing Hall and adding to the current group
Hall - Monahan - Gaudreau
Tkachuk - Backlund - Lindholm
More balanced in my opinion with a lot more fire power on the 2nd line now. Definitely two interesting scenarios to consider though for sure!
