That first would be much better used on a defender

Just doesn’t feel like there’s much available that we can fit, that would be a clear upgrade over what we have currently - without moving out more roster players, which doesn’t seem realistic. DeAngelo can at least do what they expected to get from Klingberg. I personally feel like our PP and depth scoring (having a quality 3rd line) have been our biggest issues in the post-season.

I think we had 3 capable scoring lines last post season, but our D was legitimately awful. We need to get bigger on the backend, it's not boomerism so much as it's just physics...

A 10 game shooting % heater makes Monahan worth a first?

Don’t mind that terribly if I’m the Canes.

Of course not, I was hoping it would be obvious that this was TDL move

It was… better last year, for sure. None of those guys are here anymore. Our third line now compared to our playoff third is massively worse. RoR specifically is a big loss.

And to each their own, but I really don’t think we lost because of defense.

Canes will take that and run.

I think we lost against florida due to our D, but fair point regarding the loss of ROR. I think we need to address both to compete, with the D core being the primary focus IMO

Sharks are overpaying for Cap dump Klingberg
