Another interesting (IMO) article from La Presse which identifies the team’s needs going forward:
– **A number 1 goaltender**: will it be Jakub Dobeš, or will the team go for the trade or FA route?
– **A defensive quarterback**: will it be Lane Hutson?
– **An impactful RHD**: will it be Justin Barron?
– **A true 2C**: will it be Owen Beck (who projects more as a 3C)? Will it be Dach; in which case, who completes Caufield and Suzuki?
I know it’s too early to tell in each case, but it’s interesting to get a clearer picture of the team’s needs in a 2-3 year horizon. These are the most difficult pieces to acquire. What are your thoughts?

Je retiens que Adam Engstrom est de plus en plus près d’être le meilleur défenseur de la ligue nationale.

Je comprends donc qu’il manque énormément de pièces avant de commencer à penser à du succès année après année.

how does Beck project “more” as a 3C? my man looked insane in preseason for an 18 year old and he’s having a good season right now. too early to make these predictions.
