they need a #1 and #2 center
they need 2 top 4 dman. with at least 1 being a #1.
they need a better goalie.
they need better coaching.
they need a better GM.Team is in pretty much the exact same spot since danny boy took over. How anyone can have any hope that this team is on the road to contention is nothing but a straight up delusional fool.
You’re not getting all that in one off season. Zegras can still develop into a reliable PPG guy and play center but he is still bad at faceoffs. The rest of his centering game is fine. That’s one spot. The better goalie is a #2, so that’s not a tough fix. They’re going to have jump on an opportunity for a #1/2 Dman or center and need to build out their depth to put a package together to get that. Probably a two year project.
