I hope we can trade Monahan for the D and sign Landeskog as FA or Trade for Eichel or Toews and sign FA D.

I don’t think we have a hope of signing Landeskog, if Zach Hyman gets $5.5MM Landeskog will get $8-9MM and it’s been stated the Blues are all in on him already. Unfortunately there isn’t any easy solutions to the problems we have. Going for Eichel depletes our supporting cast and assets so badly and couple that with the injury risk doesn’t seem like the right move.
I come back to a post I made about something I read around Carolinas interest in Tkachuk with it being proposed that something around Necas and Teravainen being the return. Necas is a budding number 1 center, and Teravainen is a great complimentary scoring winger. That is just one example but I think we need to be looking at solutions that we can develop to fill our needs. We are unable, due to lack of assets, to buy these solutions and still be able to be a competitive team.
