Simple offseason

Haha, love the quote. Though I think they could get a 3rd or 4th for Goose?

Just spitball'n and asking questions would love to have input.
How is a 173 lb PP specialist playing only 16 minutes per night with a -16 on a team that has scored 22 more goals than it has surrendured have the value of 43rd OA and an early 5th round pick?
He does not have half the value of Tyson Barrie who has 54 pts in 80 games (Addison has 28 pts in 60 games) and many feel he was nearly worthless or even a cap dump.

I don't think Detroit would do that deal. Addison doesn't seem like the right type of defender for us.

I mean, maybe the 5th two years from now is a bit rich, but a team traded a 2nd for Lias Andersson when he was bad in his opportunities in New York and a rebuilding team traded a 2nd for Jack McBain, who had yet to play a single NHL game. I believe in the business they call it "potential." Potential to get better what the player is already good at, and the potential to improve on weaknesses. Trading for a 31 year old Tyson Barrie is a little different than trading for a 22 year old.

Addison is 5'11, 173 lbs. Yzerman won't go near him.
