That is the kind of package that it will take to get Chychrun. Anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't understand the game.
Ask yourself this.... Is this team even worth that kind of investment of futures? I don't think they are a contender even with Chychrun. Last night's embarrassment just furthers my thoughts on that.
There are deeper issues with this team that most people can't see because they are blinded by their winning percentage and regular season point totals.
"Soft and Purposeless" was a very accurate assessment. I'm not talking about adding goons and knuckle draggers when I say that. Just players that are prepared to leave it ALL on the ice night in and night out.
We have very few of those kinds of guys in Toronto at present. Hard work trumps skill when skill isn't prepared to work hard.
