My point is that we acquired depth for the playoffs. Kipper wasn't a deadline add. And looking at the majority of winners last several years, almost none added a huge piece in their prime years.
But we are going off topic here. My only point remains that we shouldnt laugh at the Preds for adding character 4th liners. |
No, indeed. Depth is the best thing to add. Higher up, I don;'t want a rental, but depth I don't care much.
Nieminen got the attention, because he was a disturber, but Nilson was a superior player. And Simon was still pretty good quality (and was a classic Sutter guy). The Kipper thing was a joke.
A couple near misses last year added bigger pieces - Tatar in Vegas and Stastny in Winnipeg (if winning two rounds and then losing badly to Vegas is a near miss).
