So Stamkos is a no-go, which sucks. Knowing how much Canada loves to cater to Crosby, I think we'll be seeing Neal added to the team, especially considering the rivalry Crosby/Giroux have...
Everyone is saying MSL, but I just don't see it happening. They just lost a top sniper, and adding MSL would just be adding another playmaker. Giroux would be as well, but his size isn't as much of an issue as MSL's is (which Canada obviously cares a lot about).
Neal is left-handed which isn't ideal, but I expect them to go with him (chemistry, size, sniping ability). I think Seguin could be a good choice. He plays a lot like Stamkos, is a very good skater for the big ice, and is actually right-handed. Chemistry with Bergeron and Benn too.
