Despite the Bolts being the highest scoring offense in the league I do agree they do need to look at adding a goal scoring forward to play with Stammer and Callahan rather than Killorn. Personally I would have Drouin with Stammer but it seems like Cooper is shying him away from playing vs top D pairings. Personally i'd really like Patrick Marleau given his experience and track record. I think he would be a great fit with Stamkos and Callahan the only problem would be the return a young roster player (Killorn/Connolly), a young prospect that is close (Paquette/Namestinkov/Erne/Koekkoek) and a pick. Yes expensive so maybe Yzerman opts for a cheaper option maybe like a Joffrey Lupul as stated in the article.

I would see us having interest in yandle more then a forward

Told y'all! They got rid of Brewer (over 30 club like Bolt & I) so they could add an offensive defenseman or a forward! When what they really need is a coach with an attitude!!!!! Open eyes Stevie Y, open your fucking eyes!!!!!!! Unbelievable!

Was playing NHL 15 as AHL teams vs NHL affiliates. Played as the Syracuse Crunch against the Tampa Bay Lightning. How about giving Slater Koekkoek a call up?

It's a bit to early to see Koekkoek at the NHL level, he's only 20 and playing in his first pro season. He his very talented and will be a good NHLer one day but he needs time in Syracuse to develop. It's nice to see Vasilevskiy doing well after a slightly rough start, he's completely outplayed Gudlevskis up to this point posting a 2.34 G.A.A and a .918 SV% in his first 14 pro games going 8-3-3 helping the Crunch to 2nd the Northeast Division.
