No. Not just no, F no.
It's insulting you didn't start with both 2023 1sts.
Jet Woo, can't recreate his scoring success from juniors at the AHL level. Hardley looks like he will play at the NHL level, let alone contribute.
Lekkerimaki while a 15 OA pick is brand new and hasn't played in NA yet, which is a known hurtle for European players. Even if he hits, he sets the rebuild back. Too early to be of worth to us, you notice everyone we drafter in the first two rounds this year had already played the north American game.
Garland yeah, he's nice, and a decent contract, but it doesn't get you the only right D we have on contract after this year, good starting piece.
And a late first in 2024, which is for a player ready to go in 2026-2027 if we hit on them, maybe later.
We're not giving up one of the cornerstones of our rebuild and wasting years of Zegras and McTavish prime trying to get our defense in order for what you've offered.
