How would you go about filing in the aforementioned holes?

I would start by drafting. Then I’d look at the trade route. Finally Id look at free agency.

With the freed up cap space I’m sure we can come up with something.

What we’re looking at is really a year of Johnny and 2 years of Monahan for 5 years + of a young stud center. If eichel doesn’t check out medically then you move on to another target. Who are the other young stud centers on the market? There aren’t any? Why do you think that is?

Gentlemen, stop drinking the koolaid. Johnny and Monny are not the answer. If they were we would have had playoff success by now. It’s time to turn the page and try something new.
