I liked Schneider. I liked forester. I like Mercer. Zary I figured would be a backlund type but imo we need to swing for size and snarl or size snarl and skill. Or size and skill. This group has been pushed around for quite a while.

I don’t think trading down is good u less u get a high second. Thirds aren’t that valuable. Sure u can get some smaller undervalued players but we need game breakers with stout frames that can cause fits with puck possession in the offensive zone. All our guys are dainty and pushed off the puck too easily.

I think Ritchie and wood as right handed scoring centres with size and zeimmer as a good framed right shot nose for the net winger are solid offensive players that match my criteria: size skill and snarl. Mind you the snarl may come later especially if they put some weight in and add some confidence through success.
