Beyond Bedard, they urgently need veteran defensemen to bolster their blue line, with names like Bowen Byram or Mario Ferraro in play, and a reliable middle-six forward to support their young talent. With a thin free agent market, trades using their draft capital may be key. Nail these three moves, and they’ll set the foundation to break their playoff drought.
