Okay, so I am going a different direction.
We are stuck with the players we have and the coach we have, for now.
The only thing that might help this group is a huge trade.
I'm focused on Meier.
We have to deal Mangiapane as part of that, but that frees up the lineup a bit.
Don't have to play Hiberdeau with Kadri and Pelletier.
Don't need to use Toffoli with Lindholm.
Huberdeau-Lindholm-Meier
Dube-Kadri-Toffoli
Pelletier-Backlund-Coleman
Yeah, it's gonna cost more than Mangiapane.
I would do a first + Mangiapane + Zary + roster player to be discussed.
Maybe even Kylington, since he is doing nothing for us this season.
I would give them Hanifin if Kylington was back playing.
Re-signing him will be difficult.
