I am not upset or being biased I am looking at the hard numbers of Booth and am very disappointed in his performance.
In regards to Cassels it is implied in the conversation about our biggest problem which is lack of scoring. As for backing up my statement Gillis not knowing about Booths risks, well he traded for him didn't he ? 49 points later we have a player nobody wants at that price and we will loose him to free agency. So how do we win in this scenario ?
Horvat is on a great team in Juniors I think you may be severely over rating Horvats potential, and yes I may be over valuing our old tenders too.
I am all over Eddie like white on rice. Have been watching him develop from day one and am so happy we have him. That being said and I will beat the dead horse and say where the hell is our scoring ? Yes injuries have decimated the team and it's morale but even before the horrific slide well into last year we all new we could not put the puck in the net like we need to.
Matthias looks very promising but we need bonafied scoring not potential scoring. The rookies will take a few years to develop and truthfully this has fast tracked a partial rebuild where one was not really needed. As result of Gillis and his lack of finding a legitimate top 6 scorer we are left with scraps from other trades and a player nobody in the league wants.
