First thing I do is do a move to improve out 3rd line. Lucic isn't getting moved, That leaves Dube and Monahan. Personally I haven't seen enough from Dube and due to his contract/age. I think he would be a nice add in a deal to improve the right side.
Dube/Monahan + 2nd + Prospect (B) for Tyler Toffoli
After this I consider getting a True RHRS Winger and an absolute game breaker when he's engaged something he is not in Columbus. Laine is the supreme target for me, I think he'd be the perfect fit. I'm unsure the cost but its definitely 1st+.
If the Laine cant be had some pipedreams would be Konecny + Giroux with Ottawa being a broker, receiving Andrew Magiapane. I think Konecny is the better player, a position of need and he's locked down for a 3 more years at 5.5 after this one. Seems to be falling out of favor in Philly. Philly gets loaded with Futures from both sides and salary is heavily retained on Giroux by Ottawa and Philly.
I personally don't want to run Johnny/Mangi/Chucky down the left side with Pelt coming up quickly. I know that first line is fire, but we know you cant put all your eggs in one basket like the ass team up north and be successful.
Blockbuster would be Chucky + for Barzel + (Conditional Picks) if it can be had.
