An insane overpay and extension, a pointless swap of a dead contract for an overpaid third liner, signing a “meh” LHD, and trading for a guy who won’t play here (albeit for nothing). Pretty crazy when my favorite move of the week was the fourth liner out of Edmonton. What exactly is the plan? This team still needs goaltending in the worst way, our defense isn’t any better despite jones or McCabe (anyone remember the logic of trading joker was cuz of Mitchell; how’s that working out?), and and the youth movement seriously feels undermined.
I’m not exactly excited for what we’re seeing, even if the team is better on paper. You can make claims that the team has great pieces in place, but I still haven’t even mentioned the biggest deficiency in this team. I’m not even gonna mention it since it’s pretty obvious but hawks fan should know why this team can’t move forward. But hey, at least seats are gonna be filled cuz of these moves! Christ sakes……
Anyone willing to share opinions on the statement of this mess please fire away. Be respectful though.
