After such a strong season in 2014-15 I feel I should begin targetting players via trade and free agency to fill the holes on the roster. There are plenty of prospects coming through, but still a fair way off being good enough.
Looking at the draft class, Connor McDavid was the only really decent prospect available so I considered trading away the New Jersey pick for future 1st round selections, until I won the draft lottery!
