I’ve been one to say that it was fine to let go of Markstrom (7yrs) and Tanev (10yrs), but I would’ve kept Toffoli (10games).
However, replacing them with a 30 year old Cup-winning and Vezina recipient goaltender, as well as another team’s 1D/2D in Schmidt, should be fine.
Yesterday was the first practice the team has had since the start of the season (IIRC).
Combine this with Pettersson and Hughes’ slow starts, and here we are.
They should figure it out soon.
