Instead of Yakupov, keep Howard. That way, at the draft you can pretty much ignore goalies and focus on the other spots
Instead of Edler, keep Kronwall
You would be in a great spot for next year. Giordano can repeat what he just did - but he gets hurt a lot. So all you can do is hope he plays closer to 75 games than 60 games.

Thanks!
Your question is pretty vague...since there are obvious ones like MacKinnon?
Drouin is a prospect ready to go, and good for a ton of assists when he hits his prime
Nugent-Hopkins will eventually be a 60-assist guy
Kuznetsov has potential here
Granlund will be an elite setup man for sure
Other long shots to consider - the likes of Ennis, T.Johnson, Teravainen

I don't think a trade will expedite things. I think he just needs time, always did. What would help the most is if he would stay healthy for 80 games. That would speed things along. But at this point I don't think he can be a 75-point player. But I think 65-70 is the target, say two or three years from now. And hope for 60 (and good healthy) for next year.

I would bet no
If Edmonton does, RNH will. But maybe they need 3 or 4 more first overall picks before they start winning2- Is RNH making a leap next year to 70-80 points?
I believe so, but I think management changes are coming so that could change things.3- Will Holtby be Washington #1 goaltender next season?
My hunch is that he will be, but I haven't written him off.4- Sven Baertschi : Bust?

Boucher was 18 months older than Stamkos when he did it. At 19, if you have any kind of offensive skill, it's expected that you score 50+ in the OHL. Plus, fourth round picks have to prove more to get the same hype that a first-overall pick gets.
I think he can be a 60+ guy for sure. Upside maybe 70. Would depend on linemates and how quick he can adapt and establish a niche on a scoring line.

Yes to Varlamov - but the question is always his health. If he can start 65 games, he can win 40.
Tarasenko could be an 80-point guy. But I think he gets hurt too much so I wonder if he'll ever get 70. No.1 thing I'd like to see next year is 80 games from him. If he can do that, he can get 60 easily. Then he can build on that.
