They were a different team when Kylington was in the lineup. They played with more pace.
They were missing one of their top-4 D nearly every night, sometimes more than one. It would explain some of why Markstrom has been off.
Kylington is worth an extra win, sure. He’s a good player. But he wouldn’t make this team 4 wins better - figuring out how a group of veterans work together for the first time is (shoot me) a process.
They need another forward, as always. You may never get a better look at it than this year when Huberdeau and Weegar combine to make less than $9M.
You have to get them one of Patrick Kane or JVR. It’s a pure rental. You can’t go to war for four rounds with Milan Lucic on the other side of Jonathan Huberdeau. You need to get them another elite player to work with.
All in. Draft picks are for losers.
