sure, but I don't think many goalies are going to survive EDM's horrid d group. Outside of Nurse's hilarious own goal, Smith did give EDM at least a chance to win.
Its also just terrible planning on Hollands part to rely on a 40 year old goalie, and there's no succession plan there either.
only in their own minds. There's no question that was illegal. There isn't some sort of crisis of conscience going on here, he knew what he was doing.
what the arbitrator will be deciding is if termination was an appropriate action, given Kane breaking the teams rules. None of that other stuff will have any bearing on it.
didn't McDiver say he didn't care what anyone else thought about acquiring Kane? everyone knew something like last night was possible.
I'm not surprised at all that Kane or Kadri were involved in something dumb. I am surprised at how slow Bouchard is, and how trash the rest of their d turned out to be.
moving Klimovich would be a mistake, imo. We need bigger F's like him.
I'm not sure why people are so concerned about the revenge piece. I mean, so what? usually its quite a good return, and the player has to want to leave.
sure but we're at least replacing him with a young C. We'd be able to sign Roy for his best 4-5 years of his career probably. AM is only 3 years younger.
Maybe a 4th and McD?
I'm not sold on NCAA guys being instant hits, it could be quite a while, if ever, he makes it here.
But the 2nd would work too, that has a bit more of a take it or take it via offer sheet vibe.
its going to cost, a lot, to get 2nd oa. If we could do Miller and our 15th for Zacha and the 2nd oa that would be a good deal for us imo, even with the risks of the 2nd turning into another Nolan Patrick.
