I’ll say it again, putting Frondell at C is an atrocious decision. How can you expect a player with no other C TOI in the SHL/WHC/WJC to succeed in a top 6 NHL role? Put him next to Bedard. Let him use his off puck sense and let him rip one timers off of Bedard’s passes.
Kyle Davidson is scouring the NHL trade market thoroughly. A veteran defenseman is one specific target.
He's also received "a lot of calls" from teams interested in acquiring the #4 pick.

You also push Nazar out of the top 6 and likely move Moore off the C position, which puts them in what I think is a worse position for their overall impact/development. It’s a completely illogical move, even if it “works”.
@CarlsBeef -cubs fans show frustration with lack of spending
-cubs spend (quality TBD)
-results don’t come because of internal issues
-“Ricketts doesn’t care”
I’m not boot licking Ricketts here but let’s put some thought into this. There’s some seriously bad trends internally.
Choose the best rookie:
Player A: 23 y/o, average 12:14 TOI, 7G/8A/15P in 43 games, above average QoT, poor QoC
Player B: 21 y/o, average 12:51 TOI, 5G/14A/19P in 51 games, bad QoT and QoC
Player C: 20 y/o, average 12:40 TOI, 10G/5A/15P in 41 games, bad QoT and QoC
