I don't disagree, but this org is desperate for dmen.  It just seems weird that they keep skirting around making moves to fix it.

 

I have no issues with bloom other another winger at the expense of the dcorp

 

It will come. Need to build up cap space and currency-depth to make the moves. Need to be ready for the right situation.

Something like that. Or even Chychrun.

 

I think if they can get a jump start on fixing the D now rather thank wait until free agent frenzy I think they will.

That's my thoughts too; think this might be a move to grab Chychrun. Yotes have been looking for 2 first and a prospect;  lots of teams needing a Dman like him with no takers. Canucks are probably one of the only teams that could offer a mid 1st rounder vs late (essentially a 2nd). Also, Chychrun is an oddity in todays NHL; he's a top Dman that loses value every year he gets closer to the end of his contract; team control is King with a favorable contract like that. My guess:

 

Hogs Or Rathbone + 2023 1st (NYI) for Chychrun

 

Since it is Yotes, maybe give both Hogs and Rathbone and jettison Boeser

I think they have to be eyeing defenders that are actually, you know, good.

 

Stillman is a big pile of nothing. Good riddance.

He wasn't nearly as bad as people want him to be and certainly since tocchet has taken over he's actually looked pretty decent

That proper word I think would be redundant at 1.4m. I much prefer Burroughs or Wolinan in the lineup personally.

He has been better under Tochett for sure. But I'm glad we've painlessly moved on. Dermott and Beisebois and Wolanin can fill the role.
