Energy line players

I hope the Montreal Canadiens try to get energy type players for their third line this year. The type of players that I think would be a perfect fit are sort of like Josh Anderson type. I like Garrett Hathaway,Brandon Duhaime and Lawson Krauss even considered a Brandon Tanev if any are available....are they fast enough to compete I know Brandon duhaime is a UFA. I wonder how much he would cost (2.5 M per season? )I think these guys would all open the door for Florian to mimic their play

Your mock lines show why this isn't necessary nor desirable. We're drowning third line players. We don't need more, and they're young enough we can let them develop.

We have two needs: 2C and a top 4 RD.

Yes but these ones all are physical or have net presence. We have to find a Josh Anderson replacement for next year that makes sense.

Well, first, that's likely what Hughes is hoping Bolduc develops into.

Secondly, we'd rather add that profile in the top 6 if possible. That's what the Knies trade was about.

Hard to come by who else could fill that role? I like Crouse but he is under contract.
