These drafts are always so anticlimactic lol! Spend the lead up with so much trade noise and the players we should pick. Draft comes and goes. No trades. And a player most of us didn’t want them to pick at all lol.
 
When did I say my opinion was fact?

I keep trying to answer the rest but the board keeps crashing. If you @ me tomorrow I will tell you how you completely missed the point.

I liked the Goodrow move at the time and I didn’t have a problem with the contract at the time. That changed with the Buchnevich trade though.

If salary cap space is at such a premium why commit six years on a tough bottom six winger with a Stanley cup, if you are trading for a tough bottom six winger with a Stanley cup. No, it’s not a perfect comparison but You can do one of the other (or you can do neither). You can get tougher without trading 1st liners for 4th liners and you can get tougher without committing six years.

A 2022 2nd and Blais is not equal to a late 1st. No f’n way. I am not having that.

Goodrow was a good get and perfect player for what THIS team needed. The contract is not that bad and can be easily moved after year 4 IF NEEDED. St. Louis fans like Blais and I read that he played 1st line minutes during their cup run. We can have them both. Blais had 15 points in 36 games which is 35 points over a full season. He's more than a 4th liner and he's 6'2" 210lb and only 25 and hits. We will be tougher to play against and deeper and a more versatile lineup. All the people whining about todays moves will be pleasantly surprised about the way this team plays this season. Book it.
