I applaud them for going all-in for it last year. Dzingel, Duchesne, and some others weren't enough to get them through, though.
It'd be like if in '06-'07, knowing we might lose Briere and Drury, we'd have rented Peter Forsberg from the Flyers and Bill Guerin from the Blues. (And also gotten some AHL D as insurance.) Instead of Zubrus, who was solid for us, and AHL D insurance.
