That doesn’t “fix” us at all

Bottom6 is HIDEOUS
And adding another YOUNG talent to the defense doesn’t stabilize it in the near future- maybe in a year or 2 or 3 ?

Those moves don’t fix anything any time soon

Srsly dude? This is the perfect trade for Buff right now. Doesn't block future spots and gets our Top4 RHD for next year acclimated. This would allow Kulich and Savoie to come up next year as Adams doesn't want to block their spots

Mittelstadt is going to cost too much and he's blocking everyone else

Mitts is a good player- he’s been our best forward this year
We need more good players not less
We have enough Cap Room to sign him & still make other moves needed (defensive 4C & RD)
And those roles should be filled by VETS- not old guys in their 30s, but also not a teenager or someone in their first year of pro hockey (@ihopeigetit)

ALSO @ihopeigetit, those trades aren’t happening
We aren’t trading Skinner
VAN isn’t trading Wallinder

And AGAIN….
Your bottom6 is HIDEOUS
And adding another 19 year old to the defense- even a talented one- is still gonna result in sporadic play just like we saw for the first few years that Dahlin & now Power….


We also don’t need to “make room” for Kulich & Savoie
They’ll break into the lineup when they’ve earned it
And there will be a spot or 2 available next year IF either are actually ready for it- no need to rush them or give them a spot. We’ve already ruined too much young talent doing that BS over the years

Regardless, they’ll still see some call up time though when injuries occur, and if we need to make room at some point, we will. But that’s in the future, NOT now

This season is over, Mitts is not a solution going forward. Best he can do is get them a top 4 dman

First of all, it’s very arguable that he isn’t part of the solution moving forward…. Again, he’s been our best forward this year

Secondly, the trade where u wanna send out Mitts doesn’t get a top4 RD- and we don’t need to use him to get one, we have plenty other pieces we could use

Almost no trade on CapFriendly is happening.... Who cares about the bottom 6 this year? Season is over. Tank for Celebrini. It won't look like this at all next year
