I'm clearly in the minority here. I actually liked the way the team had been playing to start the year.
I'm no KA defender and never will be....but to say this team has not been severely impacted by roster injuries would be horribly unfair.
This roster has been gutted.
Just read an article on the athletic....looks like due to no practice or workouts while on blood thinners...he is out 3-6 months. Crazy bad luck
Zach wheeler in baseball too
Meh....I actually think this team is going to compete all year. They seem bought into the system and are skating hard more consistently.
Don't discount the Dahlin situation bringing these guys closer. Humans are good that way in terms of bonding.
I see a team that hovers around 9 and 10 until spring.
Right. High end backup money would be fine if:
He were signed to be their high end backup
They had a real starter in front of him warranting him to get paid like a high end back up
They werent in cap hell
It's an awful contract.
