you completely missed the point of those trades tho... valuable cap space.
how did the lineup get weaker? you think Sutter and Roussel moves the needle for this team?
Benn has been terrible hence being scratched for the past like 2 months. we have Brogan Rafferty waiting too.
Roussel looks like a shell of himself and hasn't shown much grit...
we still have plenty of grit after those trades. we have MacEwen, Ferland, Beags and Virtanen, Bo and Miler, Motte, Schaller.
Kole Lind is not even that steep of a price to pay especially when you are trying to unload a whole salary with term left.
If kovy works out for us, then great we get a pure goal scorer on the 2nd line but if he doesn't, he is gone in the summer and clear even more cap.
the main thing is CAP SPACE. look what cap space gave us last summer. J.T Miller.
