Nothing against Mikyehev. He will be fine I guess. But to not address blue line set this team up for failure.
They’ll get a few wins here and come back to the pack but they’re never not gonna be a playoff bubble team at best with that defence.

This seems to be the new map on how many teams are building themselves. Load up on as many high-end offensively players you can, pay through the nose for them, and then fill the bottom lines and defense will lower level skill and players.
- Edmonton
- Vancouver
- Toronto
- Florida
- Ottawa (to lesser extent)
It obviously goes without saying that none of these teams have won anything.
