Poll: What Does Your Team Need For Christmas?

December 21, 2017 at 1:18 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 11 Comments

The holiday season is all about giving, but what could your team use this winter? Last year, we asked the same question and nearly 43% of respondents picked a Top-4 defenseman. Is that still the trend, or are teams more in need of a top offensive talent instead this time around?

With only a few clear sellers at this point in the year, but several “hockey trades” having already been accomplished—Adam Henrique and Sami Vatanen seem to be fitting in nicely in their new locales—it seems that Christmas lists could comprise of almost anything, for any team.

If your team had a chance to pick up a piece in early January in order to take a run at the playoffs, solidify their status as a cup contender, or improve their long-term future what would it be? Vote in the poll and be sure to leave a comment below explaining your decision.

What do you want your favorite team to add?
Scoring Winger (i.e. James van Riemsdyk, Evander Kane) 37.99% (313 votes)
Top 4 Defenseman (i.e. Ryan Murray, Mike Green) 29.25% (241 votes)
Draft Picks (It's over folks) 11.77% (97 votes)
Young Talent (i.e. Sam Reinhart, Andreas Athanasiou) 9.10% (75 votes)
Other (explain in comments) 6.43% (53 votes)
Goaltending Depth (i.e. Petr Mrazek, Aaron Dell) 5.46% (45 votes)
Total Votes: 824

    Rangers need a top line center to facilitate the wings.

    One thing you forgot was coach. Some teams need to change that, too.

      I was just going to say the same thing. Rags need a 2nd line Center. Im not a big fan of Hayes being the pivot there. The problem is all the Im not to enamored with the term/money left on the potentially available Cs. Only ones I would take a gamble on is RNH or Bozak

    Health should be an option on the poll. There are a few teams that have several key injuries & would love to have them back from injury for Christmas

    Wow, the Red Wings need so much right now. Let’s start with a new GM & a coach that the players actually respect & will play for. That is not asking for too much but at this point in the season, it is not happening.

    Blues need a top six forward or something along the lines of that with Schwartz out, maybe evander Kane.

    Habs need 1, possibly 2, centres and a playmaking left D.

    Or, to sell off some pieces and retool the rest the roster.
