they need #1 top pair dman (impossible?) #2 2way or even a very good one way center. #3 a complementary player for toews/or saad. #4 goalie
those imo should be the draft goals. idk who kicking around that isnt in rockford prospect wise. the tiny bit ive seen of the hogs. not much to be excited about

They just need to take the BPA. Anyone taken in this draft is not gonna help the club for 2-3 years anyway at best.

Toews needs to focus on winning hockey games instead of scoring and Anisimov is a very good (or at least good enough) two-way center to outplay most teams' third lines, assuming Strome is in the top six. Even one top pair defenseman is not enough. They need 2-3 elite pieces to fill out the roster. I am not counting on Duncan Keith to remain a top pair d-man - he turns 36 this summer.

Anisimov is not 'very good' at any thing...
...except playing much smaller than his frame

AA would be fine at 3 million not 4.5 million.
Stan...

15 needs to go, period, end of story. And if Stan can move Saad and clear even more money, do it. No need to pay a guy 6 millions for showing up for 40 games.

I thought this was Saad's best year, at least here. He's not more than a middle 6 guy. 23g-24a isn't bad. He's probably only $1m-$1.5m overpaid. Stan s/b that close to everyone.

If he showed up every night (ok let's say 65 games) his numbers would look a whole lot better. He's capable of more than he delivers. This guy should NEVER be a healthy scratch. And it just didn't happen when he played for Torts. He has the tools to be Baby Hossa, minus the desire to be. I realize compared to most of the other forwards on the team, he isn't as much of a problem, but still, we wants mo.

You win two Cups before you can even drink a Hard Mike's Lemonade. What else is there to play for? Just look at Andrew Ladd. Same story.

The puck was glued to Saad. Do I wish he scored more here, yah. I'm not sure what else Saad's supposed to do. Maybe he just appears to hustle.

Agreed Saad is far from the root of the problem. Useful player in his role.

Saad is making easily $2 mil more than the value he provides.
