Because unless they want to be in this same situation next year that blue line has to improve. Schlemko is still young for a defenseman and has some upside, picking him up on waivers should have been a no brainer for a gm who has a severe lack of defensive prospects
But hey, worked out great for us. Personally I hope they keep MacTavish in charge for as long as he wants the job
