You're not wrong, but I'd hope that if we did target and land Petro that we would also make additional moves to shore up the top 6 as well.
If we could somehow land Petro + Hall and or Markstrom
Trade Johnny for an early 1st and A+ prospects and or young NHL ready assets I think we're ahead of the game and solidify a strong "quick" retool.
Obviously additional moves are required however it would be a good "core" shuffle the team needed.
If all we do is go out and sign the biggest UFA D man and pay him 9M and keep the rest the same I'm with you, I think that's a huge mistake and a terrible decision.
As much as he's a legit stud D man I don't think just 1 signing makes this team a deep playoff contender.
