Just re-hashing what I said in the Zucker thread:
Well I’m pleasantly pleased with today for a few reasons:
1.) Very rarely does the team who makes a huge deadline acquisition do damage in the playoffs. It’s usually the depth pickups (Fantenberg).
B.) Losing a cost controlled, likely future top 2 defenseman for what is now an overpaid winger who’s contract ends at 35 would be asinine.
III.) Getting Mark Stone would all but assure losing Matthew Tkachuk who is younger with a higher ceiling. Sorry guys, no one is talking Neal’s contract to free up cap room.
Four.) As for the aforementioned Neal, if he can turn it up down the home stretch/playoffs we’ve just acquired a deadline acquisition for zero assets. Even Czarnik has been ramping up lately.
Yep, I think Tre was pretty much perfect today.
