Will jarmo make any trades in the future to upgrade the D or will jarmo sit back and do nothing and continue to let the team struggle?

The notion that Yarmo is "sitting back and doing nothing" seems rather silly. Ofc ours he is not just sitting around. But making a big difference-making trade 2 weeks into the season is not exactly an easy or likely thing to be able to do.

Calgary interested in Rychel but apparently Jarmo's asking price for Kerby is way too much than Calgary is willing to part with... interesting article and insight by Friedman.
If shutting down defensively is an issue, there's a massive Belarussian defenseman in Cleveland who was signed this offseason who could help.
And if not him, then Justin Falk is there.
And if not him, Dean Kukan was signed this offseason.
And if not him, Michael Paliotta was acquired in the Saad trade.
And if not him, Andrew Bodnarchuk was signed this offseason.
And not a single one of them was called up before firing the coach. Not everything can be solved in the trade market, and I don't know whether it should be the first place to go. If the bottom pairing has been this bad, why not call up one of these guys and see what they can do before immediately jumping into the market?
Good point. I'd rather see some of our young guys before we leverage our future.
There's not much to do unfortunately. We need a top 2 dman. Teams do not give up top 2 dman. I saw where we tried to do a prospect swap with Anaheim (rychel/Theodore). They declined

Eight games is the fastest I have seen a team go from playoff contender to rebuild mode.

At least we didn't trade and gave a pile of money for Dougie Hamilton, he's doing his magic in Calgary now. Watch the Ovechkin and Kuznetsov goals against the Flames. He's plain dumb and stupid. The people who wanted to trade farm for him should be ashamed.

If all these guys are better than what we have now, why aren't they here? (scratching my head)
Exactly. For some reason, some fans seem to think getting great, young defensemen is easy. Our only hope is that our young defensemen (Murray, Werenski, etc....) continue to develop.
Just like the Foligno hate its still a bit early to jump on the anti-Dougie train...
