I don’t blame them. They traded Gostisbehere, Hagg, 2021 1st round pick, 2022 2nd & 7th round picks, and the 2023 second round pick and all they have to show for all that is Ristolainen??
I think he kinda overvalued what he could get for players, I think a lot of GMs probably won’t deal with him this summer...he didn’t get any really good trade chips and he seems to have pissed all the other teams off by asking for the moon
I don’t understand why GMs and scouts go all gaga over overage players that dominate in juniors...they are dominant because they are playing against teenage boys!!
I wonder how differently things would have worked out had goalies like Price, Rask and guys like Weber weren't all injured and expected to miss significant time. It's going to be a wild ride for the next few weeks that's for sure...
He's not wrong. However Seattle is the only team that has been allowed to talk to any free agents so he can't really be suggesting that JB is missing opportunities that have not been there. I do agree with you about Hamonic, give him a full training camp and he will be much better than what we saw. Also believe that to be true about Schmidt. But we do need one more defenseman as well and I am not interested in more Jalen Chatfield...
