I just like how the reported wishlist is an LD, 3C, and goalie, which are exactly all of the swings and misses he took just a few months ago.

Media is pretty nice here.


The worst to me is G. I think he sorta failed on LD and 3C, but apologists could argue the merits of Keith and Ryan and the other additions at F.

But to yet again go into the season with a 39 year old Smith and a wildly inconsistent, usually not very good guy in Koskinen should have been grounds for immediate dismissal. I don't think there had ever been as many goalies available.


Guys that were traded:

Kuemper (too expensive, but he was an option)
Vanecek went back to the Caps for a 2nd
Vladar went for a 3rd
Fleury for a nothing prospect
Nedeljkovic for a 3rd and UFA Bernier

UFAs

Grubauer
Ullmark
Mrazek
Driedger
Anderssen

Any one of these would have been a decent gamble IMO.
