Dube - Ryan - Lucic

Even more solid:

Bennett-Backlund-Frolik
Lucic-Ryan-Dube

We need another top 6 player to really balance things out.

An RW like Toffoli would be awesome. But assuming no one, I like the idea of moving Dube up.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Dube
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Mangiapane
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Ried-aldo - Ryan - Lucic

Is rock solid, if Dube could handle the role.

But if we can acquire an RW, we can ice:

Gaudreau - Monahan - Toffoli?
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Mangiapane
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Dube - Ryan - Lucic
(Rieder/Rinaldo/Jankowski)

IMO, that is a pretty elite lineup, despite what the team has shown to date.

Toffoli would be a great add the only thing that concerns me is having to overpay because of being a division rival. If the cost was acceptable though I’d love to add him; he may be able to rekindle some junior chemistry that he shared with Monahan on the 67’s.

Toffoli for Czarnik + Jankowski + 2nd + conditional 4th (if he re-signs) ??

I think Jankowski and picks is going to be our most offered up trade bait.

I think Czarnik stays as he’s already cleared waivers. I think Brad was hoping he would clear as the depth may come in handy down the road.

We have Rinaldo, Rieder, Quine and Czarnik all ready to step in at any time.

Let guys like Phillips and Gawdin percolate in the AHL atop the league scoring race and fight for a spot next season.
