Francis is trying so hard to run Gaudreau out of town is the perfect example of why no superstar players want to play in Canada. He goes on to say Monahan won't suffer from a Gaudreau trade HAHAHA has he not seen 90% of Monahans goals? No s*** he's gonna struggle in the playoffs when he's depended on to drive the play each shift. If he had a true #1 centre we wouldn't be talking about his size as much when it comes to the playoffs.
The window for this team is 2-3 years with the way contracts are set up and if they can't go on a deep run this coming season it's over and with the coach we have that's very likely to happen. Brad made some good moves Markstrom is elite and entering his prime and we can stop worrying about goaltending. The defence is still looking solid I would've rather him sign Brodie or Barrie but Tanev will do we needed a vet like him for the young guys on the blue line. Heres where it gets messy ever since the start of last season we all knew we needed another top 6 forward particularly right shot we traded frolik for nothing just to gain the cap to do so and Brad struck out at the deadline and in free agency. Ain't no trades gonna happen this offseason this is the team their rolling with and if scoring is once again a problem and they need to add a top 6 winger they better do so because this teams future as well as Brads depends on it.
