Quoting: Meeqs
So you let Gabe walk and then massively overpaid for a worse version of Gabe and signed him for a deal that was close enough to have found a way for Gabe to stay?
Then you gave away Kadri for free
Anyways, to his point, I agree.
Reinhart's good, but if you're gonna drop 7.6M, I'd personally rather spend that on the captain and heart and soul of the team.
I'd wonder if Ott moves out assets like that for an older rental like Kadri unless they're convinced they can get more for him at the deadline. Without any prospects or young guns going to Ott, and without taking any of their older contracts, I don't know if Ott makes this move when they're still in rebuilding mode.
Curious if you drop that 7.6M on Gabe, what the assets you used to acquire Reinhart could be used on instead. Maybe flip Kadri to someone willing to put up more, and see what upgrades can be had on the middle 6? I'm fine parting with all of those if they upgrade the roster.
Good numbers on Jost and Grubi, although I think they're fair, I wonder if the market is going to bump them up a bit.
