- Lose the captain for nothing, then do nothing to replace him
- Hand out a massive UFA contract to a third line forward, who by all accounts is a good character guy and solid player, but not a difference maker
- Trade a third round pick for an unsigned depth defenceman, then only sign him for one season
Just a bunch of random moves that make no sense to me. |
*Gio wasn't lost for nothing as cap space is important. was anyone going to give anything for a 38 year old making $6.75m?
*$4.9m for capable 25 goal guy who plays hard and performs in the PO's is not a massive contract even for a UFA.
*it's a 3rd round pick, not a 1st
I will judge Treliving on what he doesn't do, not these three things
