I haven't been disappointed since the Tkachuk trade and that wasn't Conroy. Don't let the noise get to you and look at what was traded. A 5/6 D man and his full salary. Toffoli who is old and wanted an extension. No thank you dave. Seeya. An aging 3/4 d man that wants a chance to win. A 3/4 young defenseman that wants to go back tonhis home country that was food, but not spectacular. Then there was Lindholm. That trade was a home run. This is what rebuilding looks like. All those pieces couldn't move the needle and now they're gone. GMs are not overvaluing players this year and thats fine. Calgarys gm has also not handed out contracts like candy to make a splash like the last one. I get if people are upset because they see some what they think superstar but let's be real. These aren't upper echelon players. They are all decent pieces to teams with a better puzzle right now. Calgary has 3-4 years to build theirs right now also. Its the right track. Kuzmenko is the oldest piece they have brought in and he has one year left. Do you think he's getting a 7 or 8 year deal from Calgary? Nope.
The big picture looks nice from my view anyways. I'm goingbto enjoy watching this team battle for everything they have with guys that were just behind and needed a chance or change of scenery. I'm ####ing tired of all the "PRE MADONNA" player bull####. Thats where you can respect the Toffolis and Colemans. Boots on and go to work. No crying. No bull####. Anywho, thats my take anyways.
