Just traded our only top 4 dman for next season for another 3rd line center
What a f***ing joke
1) Who cares about the D being worse next year. Edmundson is still here btw.
2) Who are you BSing with your 3rd line C comment? Don't pretend you're an expert on Dach.
I'm very on the fence on this deal. Dach was trending upward before this season and his injuries. Chicago was also a total gongshow this year. He's never had a solid coach for his development.
I am sad about Romanov leaving since I liked his progression this year BUT I don't see him as more than a #3D. We got fair value for him since I value a potential 2C over a #3D. We also have Guhle who might make us forget about Romanov soon. Let's not overlook the Russian factor too.
Hughes talked about different ways to accelerate the rebuild. Passing up on Wright was tough for me to accept but this deal gets us a C prospect much ahead in development.
