Description

So far I'm impressed with what Dubas has done. He has revamped the D and goaltending and bottom 6/ depth a bit all for the better. But we still need more D and scoring F.

Those aren’t my concerns. That you signed two players who’ve gone back to Europe and one player who’s retired are. Not to mention thinking Toews would sign for under a million and that Tarasenko will get $7M shows you’ve not been paying attention to, well, anything really. I credit you for making one of these on your first day here, but at least follow the league before you do.

No ones retiring according to official news and announcements as of now.

Most players would prefer an NHL deal over being signed in Europe and only usually do so when they're not getting the attention they want but would drop the Europe team agreement as soon as they get a call for an NHL deal. Who's gone back to Europe?
