Considering that statistical deep dive we saw this offseason that suggested Dahlin on his off hand dropped off a little, but not a lot, I find the move to be somewhat puzzling. I understand teams occasionally get by with D men playing their offhand on top pairs, but it’s not common, and *aiming* to do so, right off the bat, and basically pigeonholing yourself into needing to do so across the board, seems fairly questionable. We are measuring a value in value out trade that’s a risk by first IMMEDIATELY spotting the “lost value” side by our looming positional requirements. Very risky. On the plus side, I’ve been begging for a hockey trade. This is that. I also spoke a lot about how we even may need to “lose” a trade by value to address a position of need. So I am actually ok with this type of deal in theory. But then you see it was for a..left shot D. Our position of greatest strength. It admittedly doesn’t make much sense to me based on the parameters I’m using to evaluate. Maybe we need to admit to different parameters. Maybe we really just are a budget team Maybe we really are just Terry’d. Can we make a strong argument that Adams thinks this will improve the team, in the NOW term? Cause even if we didn’t agree with him, that would be preferable Are the options clueless GM or inept owner? Someone tell me why this trade makes us better right now. Actually asking, cause that would be best.

A left shot D man, eh

Yep. You got me.

Lol edited for brevity ie “deleted” since all my posts were lumped into one indiscriminate mass of text at the top of the page out of context Have at it

True

Up almost the whole game and lose by 3 ffs

That blew my gasket

6 on 5 and Cozens was battling against 2 guys alone in the offensive zone corner wut

Heck of a save

We’ve been good with comebacks lately

Both teams on back to back to be fair

Need a save there, kid!

Nice save

He’s always been a big baby

Lol he put Scheifele on his arse too

Dahlin crushed Nino

Triple double No assists

Should be the OG version but that’s the best goal song

Cheers to you mrs robinson

Goatheads and being ok with your goalie being your best player.

Jets are frauds

THAT’S wizards’ chess!

Hellebuyck being on the bench today will give him a first hand opportunity to learn something from UPL
