On the one hand, Ruhwedel isn't going to play every night, not on a good team.
On the other hand, a 4th likely won't play 100 games in their career while Ruhwedel has over a decade of experience in the NHL.
We need picks for the future lol. We are not going to be any good in 2027. In fact possibly worse.
You picked the wrong GM for a rebuild.
Dubas was gifted Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Reilly, Liljgren and Woll (plus tons of players he gave up on; ei: Kadri, Hyman, Marchment, T. Moore, etc.).
In the 6 years in Toronto he only found Kapanen (opps he gave up on him too) and Knies as home grown everyday Nhl talented.

And when has he attempted a rebuild? So how do you know that? Regardless Toronto still employees a failed President and hired one of the worst GMs in the league to replace him.

It's a shame Dubas wanted to make a big boy "first day on the job" move mistake by trading for E. Karlsson only to figure out he needs to rebuild not contend 7 months later.
That EK65 trade set the rebuild backwards by 2 seasons.
