I don't want anything splashy today. Figure out who of your current FAs are willing to sign long term extensions and make plans for the future.
Maybe you have something like the following praying Monahan can recover:
Mangiapane -- Lindholm -- Tkachuk
Monahan -- Backlund -- Coleman
Pelletier -- Ruzicka -- Dube
Lucic -- Rooney -- Dueher
That forward depth sure looks different without Gaudreau but maybe a healthy Monahan and elevated role for Mangiapane can help reduce some of the loss.
