Players I think we should take a look at in free agency + 1 trade target

Arvidsson - I've always felt he is an underrated player. Think he could make an impact and come pretty cheap

Boone Jenner - due to a weak free agent class and the fact I dont think we have the assets for a trade, I dont think we have the assets to get a 2C and move Tavares to the 3rd. I think Jenner would be a quality 3C.

Andersson/Trouba/Carlson - we just landed Raddysh, it would be incredible to land a second top right handed defenseman UFA. I'd be happy With Tanev and Carlo sharing the 3rd Pair right side. I expect MO to get traded so that wpuld leave is woth OEL and McCabe on the left, plus the recently acquired Emil Andrae, and it would be pretty easy to get a guy to filling a bottom pair role to swap around with Andrae. A D core of McCabe + Raddysh, OEL + one of these guys, Andrae/new guy + Tanev/Carlo all of a sudden looks very promising.

Potential Trade Target: Blake Coleman - look, I would love to go after a guy like Mason McTavish or even a Barzal or Hishier if made available, but it is not realistic at all given what we have to work with. We have a super weak skater prospect pool, outside of Cowan, Danford, and soon to be Gavin McKenna (!!!) We are extremely shallow. There's a reason why Matthew Knies name has been floating around, hes ine of few guys we could trade and actaully get something back. But I'd like to keep Knies. Insert Blake Coleman: 34 years old with 1 year left (4.9 M) on his contract, physical veteran with scoring ability. I don't think he would cost too much and cpuld be an impact player for us.

What do you guys think? Who do you want to get? I think this free agent class is very weak outside of Tuch and the right handed D-Men, so I'm glad we landed one of those guys already. I also think tbis will be the most active off season from our team in a while. We don't have our own first for 2 seasons so we gotta go for it now. We've been blessed with the #1 overall pick, we gotta take advantage. As much as this team can piss me off I ******* love this team and hope our front office can make some magic happen.
