Quoting: Icedragon4405
The point is they need to avoid another rebuild I would rather trade our lottery 1st round pick for a star than just get another talented draft pick which they don’t need more of. Fitz has not been a great Gm made a lot of moves that haven’t worked out and has not taken advantage of cap situations of other teams. He should have acquired more established talent on forward to play with Hughes. The excuse that they are a young team is null at this point because guys like Bratt, zacha, Hischier, wood, Severson, aren’t inexperienced anymore they are at the age where they are still young but they have enough experience to the point where they should be better. Of those players Bratt and wood are the only ones that are playing to their potential, Severson is overrated. Zacha was a terrible draft pick, and Hischier has not come close to the potential of a number 1 pick for a first overall pick he hasn’t shown much only that he is a decent middle 6 forward. He is also the captain and has been unable to get anything out of this team. Hamilton may be great offensively but defensively he has sucked and he is supposed to be a 2-way defenseman, he does Skate hard he looks like he doesn’t care that much especially when he messes up he is a big factor contributing to odd-man rushes against the devils because he is so lazy coming back that he will pinch and not get back. Tatar was a terrible signing. Fitz and most of the coaches need to go. They should have kept Shero. And if Fitz doesn’t go he needs to make some bold moves
-- Zacha: Not a terrible draft pick. Originally miscast as a defensive center, has done well at LW more recently. Was probably overpicked by 10-15 spots, but hardly a terrible pick.
-- Bratt: underperforming? He was a 6th rounder. And has been among league leaders in 5v5 play this year.
-- Hischier: 1oa at age 18, 1st line center at age 19, an all-star at age 20, and youngest captain in NHL at age 21. No one is disappointed in him, man.
-- Wood: great last year, hurt this year.
-- Severson: overused as #1 for years because we had no one else. He is a #2 or #3.
-- Tatar: Was rough first month, great every since.
Maybe mention some of the good moves that have occurred too
-- Coleman and Vatanen trades at 2020 trade deadline
-- Johnsson trade
-- Siegenthaler trade (looks to be like a great one)
-- Palmieri trade
