Description
I’ll be honest; I can’t tell you if the guy just doesn’t have his legs yet as a 20 year old or what but, the amount of times Lucas Raymond just falls down onto the ice or just straight up loses the puck when faced with any amount of pressure is alarming to me.

And I’m not talking about getting outmuscled by a larger/more seasoned opponent because that happens often as well, idk I’d expect him to get stronger and more coordinated in the future but he’s been really ugly to watch for my liking.

The reasoning behind the trade is what makes me feel like those types of decisions will eventually make us the worst team in the league.

The reason behind the trade. 🤔

So, not the trade but, the reason behind it.
So the trade is good? ✅
Quinn Hughes good? ✅
Team is good? ✅
Reason: BAD!!! 🚫

Brother u got more wingers than we can put on the ice. With Fabbri, Vrana, Bertuzzi/Konecny, Berggren, Kubalik, Perron, Soderblom - how does adding an all world defenseman make the team worse.

You’re better off just saying you prefer Raymond over Hughes. It’s more honorable. Everything about Hughes is light years ahead of Raymond in terms of value. It’s impossible for the team to be worse with Quinn.

And swapping Konecny for Bert also does not make us worse.

Just say u like Bertuzzi and Raymond better than Hughes and Konecny.

It’s for sure unrealistic. But it isn’t actually video game ridiculousness because this wouldn’t even get you Hughes in the video game.
