Yeah always easy to say once the deal is done but I do tend to agree. At a certain point we are going to need a minimum two, probably 3 top pair D in here if we want to be successful in the post season.
GM trades always help when you have relationships and Chevy and Tampa don't have much history. Not the end of the world but proven top pair guys like this under contract without NMC kicked in, signed until the 2030's don't come around often
Makes you wonder and day what if, that's all

I mean you add Ehlers retained - and run with Lambert/Perfetti in your top six to save that $$ for a season... Chevy had a lot to offer
Ehlers doesn't help Tampa shed salary which is obviously the move.
The Jets trading away cheap nearly nhl ready talent for an expensive Sergachev creates complications now and in the future.
Not saying I wouldn't want Sergachev but it just didn't make sense.

Sergachev is not expensive for what he brings - I'd have traded perfetti for him to be honest
It's cold but moving from wingers to top pair defenseman and finding new wingers is a pretty smart way to build a winning hockey club

Well thatvlikely won't age well for them. Also very curious that they brought in an expensive old dmen in McDoughna making 7 million a year and are shipping out the young 8 million one. Something doesn't add up here. Why get older and worse.
I opined Utah would not trade a C for a winger,
I am kind of hoping Tampa doe s that deL though,

That's why you buyout Schmidt - and don't sign Monahan.
Agreed, but they seem intent on trying to sign Sean. No idea about Nate, but the buyout window is closing soon.

We can't assume they would want Perfetti. I don't think they were looking for wingers. It looked like they were after a young cost controlled LHD to replace Serg and get a big high end C prospect at the very least.
They might have had interest in McG if he would sign there but if the rumours of jumping in quick are true Tampa is deep up front as well. But when you compare Moser to what we could offer I think they prefer Moser.
Just because we have some assets to move that doesn't mean they were interested in them.
I really hope we hear some buyout news on that front soon.

Monohan will be to C what Schmidt has been for D. Overpaid, underperforming and blocking better, younger, cheaper.
Things are starting to look grim on that front. Chevy seems content on running it back despite us getting caved. Hard to make fun of Toronto when we seem to have the same humiliation fetish.

I played in a death metal band. People either loved us or they hated us... or they thought we were OK.

I agree, it seems like they are intent on running as much back as they can. I guess they believe the playoffs isn't indicative and the 4th place finish is. I'm not so optimistic.
Yeah making no changes after that showing is a really good way to drive fan engagement. They are terrified that if they move or lose anyone fans will get upset.
