@lawrence3030@stefen_rosner@TheNLKing Better be another move or it’s an F from me Dawg lol he’s a poor mans JGP. For more years and money. Not good. Not a scorer. Isles shouldn’t be giving up 1sts for this type of player when they are in no way a cup contender right now
@lucasnola1@TylerLevitan No such thing as too many forwards. Players like Engvall and Duclair, is still a problem, can be waived during/after camp. You pray they get claimed or they go to AHL and we get some cap savings
@ChrisBottaNHL I’m not the biggest Dobson fan, but I do think Dobson straight up for Hagens pick alone is not close to equal value. Would need to be the pick, plus
@philzfactz This is also ridiculous and irrelevant because it was not Lou’s choice to get rid of Trotz. Trotz wanted out for family reasons initially, while also understanding the GM job that he coveted was soon to be open.
@lawrence3030@Burykid23@incarceratedbob Give it up Richie, love ya, but in no way do the isles extend a 35 year old winger in their current situation. Lou messed this deadline up. Pray Ritchie can produce as a 3rd line center next year but it won’t be enough to contend
@Burykid23@incarceratedbob@lawrence3030 Correct! And this was a chance to at least recoup some of that serious damage by getting assets and cap space to do a retool. His plan or direction is mediocrity. I don’t see the path now for them to truly improve and contend. Seems like more of the same coming next year
@lawrence3030@Burykid23@incarceratedbob Less concerned with him. His contract is buyout possibility. Pageau and Palms had to go. Their retool takes a huge hit now
@lawrence3030@Burykid23@incarceratedbob this team could not compete with the roster currently constructed and when fully healthy. In this type of market you do not swing and miss. Any UFA needs to go. Players like Pageau/Mayfield, go. You keep your core together and retool to improve. 21 doesn’t fit at this point
