Quite the contrary. I have been paying very close attention.

I get the RHS is important. And adding the three new guys is good. But they lost two players in Hamilton and Ferland in the process. So the upgrade is different and may have purpose, it just came at a significant cost.

Losing Dougie is big. At least right away. I think it's a wash for Hanifin long term, but initially, its a loss. And this is coming from a guy who never liked Dougie. He's a game breaker and will be surely missed.

Lindholm over Ferland, and I really like Ferly. Lindholm being a RHS with higher hockey sense is great. But Ferlys shot is of decent value.

I get the strategic moves, and I like what they have done. But I just don't see it as this big upgrade.

I actually would like to see Monahan, Lindholm, Backlund down the middle. I just think it makes a big mess of off wings and wasting Ryan at 4C.

I'm not criticizing to whine, I guess I am just hesitant to applaud the moves until I see them in action.
