Agree with this sentiment. The hiring of Shaw is an indicator of D being the main focus.
Schmidt just ain't it, I was thinking earlier today that he was jettisoned for a reason. Some great hockey minds in VGK deemed him expendable. He signed his deal at 5.7 or whatever it is with the added benefit of ZERO state tax and the perks of Vegas. I could see him being pissed about that despite his smiling camera face.
Who do we add? I'll leave that to Jimbo whom I do trust. Juolevi is a key piece IMO. Excited to see him mesh in like a Edler/Ohlund lite, but maybe a better first pass than both.
