I cannot think of another team that aptly addressed their organizational needs more than the Flames this offseason so even with homer glasses off I thin Allen is right on the money there. On paper they plugged some really big holes. How it pans out on the ice we will have to see, sometimes the teams who make the biggest changes have the worst seasons. Sometimes.
Rangers did some good work more on the future than the right now. Buchnevich and Vesey are going to be leading this team in 2-3 years.
As for MTL, I get the Subban love but I really liked that move for MTL, Marketing wise it was a nuclear disaster but from an on ice perspective, they needed to switch up player types. And Weber will help them now and for a couple more years. But Subban is an offensive guy and offense is sexy.
As for FLA and ARZ, meh, I don't know how their D corps will balance out in FLA with losing 3 of their top 4 guys. Seems like a good chance at an adjustment year and a high pick. Reimer was a good snag though. But don't they have a 3 headed monster down there now?
