Generic bottom pairing through the rest of the season should see us comfortable with a high draft pick now that Markstrom is out. Maybe one of them can step up, but it feels like we’ll limp along like this till the deadline when we dump everyone.
It’s a contest between short term pain of losing this season and the long term health of the franchise. Zadorov’s public trade request may be an actual turning point for the franchise… despite being a #5 D. Just taking on too much water to bail out now.
