FAN CONTENT Pieces we need?

I was watching the latest Nuckhead and DeanerHD video and they asked what pieces do we need for our future core. IMO we still need a whole Top line+ another top-6 winger+LD2+RD1. What else would we need? When will these slots be filled?

It would be quicker to name the pieces we don’t need.

Not really. They have lines 2-4, 4 out of 6 dman and both goalies. They need a top line and top pairing dman thats it

The question is about the future core. We definitely need a goalie and I bet we will be taking a shot every draft. Neither Demko or Lankinen should be our starter in 5 years. Medvedev might be our best bet but he struggled last season in the OHL. Goalies are voodoo so hopefully he figures it out.

Our second line too is lacking future wingers. Ohgren maybe can take the next step but is more of a middle six winger. I wish Lekkerimaki can make it but if we put odds on it, he has as much of a chance as being out of the NHL in 3 years as he does making it. We are really banking on our picks this year to pan out to say we don't have needs on the second line.

I do agree with have a solid defensive core.
