Instead of tossing a swap of 3rd rounders in the Eichel trade and have some fore thought. That could have used that could use if want a RFA like Jake Oettinger. This team can afford to trade a 1st or more picks considering we just had three 1st Rounders last week and a few more young kids developing. I'm tired of waiting for unearthing another Miller.
He's a better long term answer than Anderson or Dell or Subban for that matter. I'm not upset with him in the group yet it be nice to have a bonafide guy that can put in for 60 games and not look back which we've lacked since Miller.
Adams is really dumpster diving for these goalies, first Murray and now Allen. Why not go after someone like Antti Raanta? Who at least has a save percentage over .910?
I'm sure that because our goalie coach worked with Murray in Pittsburgh we thought we had a chance to "fix him". That said I'm glad we didn't get him. Yet we need someone to add to the mix that can compete with UPL or play at least 35 games as I can't see Anderson lasting long with his age and recent injury history.
I think we drafted well yet think could have used our picks better, see the trades for DeBrincat and Husso trades. As it's nice to have kids on the farm but we still need some NHL level help especially in the nets.
Trade one of our extra 2nds to Vegas for our 3rd back then lol
I 100% agree but with the "not block chances for our kids" line I can't see Adams going after a big name unless Holtby willing to sign for 3 years.
His GAA and save percentage have decreased each of the last 3 years. I like his age but Washington letting him free to explore tells me they want an improvement.
I'd love if we took a shot at RFA Jake Oettinger but have a feeling we go Comrie.
