Does Montréal have a plan here or are they just adding name players whenever they can find them?

This is interesting:

> Jonathan Erlichman - nicknamed J-Money - is leaving [#Rays](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Rays?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) after 12 years (including 2019-23 as process & analytics coach) to join NHL [@penguins](https://twitter.com/penguins?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) as VP Hockey Research, Development & Strategy. He had moved back to Rays front office after last season and was a VP.

Kessel was drafted but has not yet signed (unless I'm more behind on that than I think.)

And here's a prediction from last night, what's yours? 

> Hockey world waits for [#Oilers](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Oilers?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) to render decisions Tuesday on [#stlblues](https://twitter.com/hashtag/stlblues?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) offer sheets to Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway.  
>  
> Recent trades mean everything is still on the table cap-wise, but I wouldn't be surprised if both Broberg and Holloway become Blues tomorrow.

> We'll see.

Mine is leaning this way too.
