Unless there was a reason he had to otherwise....I wish GMKA had held off on the Bishop trade. With the way some of these teams are spending on UFA's and extending their existing rosters, some have to be looking for ways (trading partners) to free-up cap space.
Can't see GMKA trading or signing another goalie now, except maybe for Rochester. Comrie has a reputation for being a hard worker. Don't think GMKA is done for today, maybe still looking for a 4C before the day is done?
I don't understand the high grades for the 2018 draft. We had 1OA, Dahlin was the consensus #1 pick....what else were we going to do? Samuelsson I like, but the rest of the 2018 draft was a tire fire.
Chicago fans may boo him as well. Some are pissed because the Buffalo trade didn't happen (thanks to Murray)..and so that 7th overall was then used to get DeBrincat instead.
Joki is not a top 4 D on most playoff caliber teams...but in our case he is because we don't have anybody better. I hope we can eventually do better and have him in the 3rd pairing where he is better suited.
I am glad he's coming back. I was skeptical at first, but he plays bigger than his size. I also thought he was nimble enough to play the right side when needed. If I had to choose between Bryson or Pilut returning......I pick Bryson.
