While true - signing UFAs isn’t exactly a given considering who wants to play for a team in rebuilding mode? Latest rumor is/was Stamkos was interested in Detroit, but apparently Nashville offered and extra season…So we have Kane and Tarasenko (meh signings).Yes, it’s criminal how far they fell, especially in 2019-20. Still not the only way to accumulate talent.
As for trades - outside of DeBrincat and dumping Walman - Yzerman doesn’t appear willing right now to do anything considering he’d rather keep our prospects and picks…Unless something unexpected happens I get the impression he’ll stand pat - unless it’s the trade deadline and we’re outta the picture then I can see some vets like Kane being moved.
My #1 beef with Yzerman - what did/does he see in Lalonde??!!
