I'm good with this. This team probably is a 1st rd exit , but it gives Dobson an NHL caliber defenseman to play with and that first line can build chemistry. This offseason isles need to keep their 2022 1st unless it for Fiala, that's the only player who's worth giving up a 1st for. There's really nothing the isles can do this offseason to become contenders, so trading a bunch of assets for one player will likely send us right back into the Milbury era.
I know a lot of isles fans think a "top LD2 and top line winger" will put this team over the top, but when you factor in what it would cost, it would actually set the team backwards and into a rebuild. It was only two years ago many isles fans wanted to trade Devon Toews so they can sign Mike Hoffman...
