Description

Because we don’t have a David Savard or Seth Jones anymore and Peeke isn’t cutting it right now.

Also, I’m not saying that I like the contract. I understand why he was signed.

Nyquist most likely gets traded at the deadline.

Maybe it’s just me probably the worst signing made today might be one of worst I’ve seen in a minute

Idk your jarmo. You tell me

With all seriousness, I think they really wanted a d partner for werenski and they didn’t care how much they had to spend of our cap to get it.

If that's the guy they signed then it's not as bad as it's being made out to be. If he's the guy he was the previous 5 years then this has disaster written all over it. Just gotta wait and see now.

Gudbranson is solid. I'm not questioning signing him, especially since Boqvist can't stay healthy. And hey, if Peeke and Boqs both stay healthy and take strides, he's the 3RD anyway. But man, am I questioning both term and value of that contract.
