Great deadline overall. Market prices were way too high for rentals. I could see giving up a couple guys if there was at least another year term but most of the movement was UFAs and a rebuilding team sending draft picks for 2 months rentals is just poor asset management. I get that some help was needed, but I think the stronger message today was the guys on the team now, and the guys playing in the AHL are who management believes in and wants to move forward with, not another overpriced mercenary.
