Blissfully Mediocre
But, we've just been through that. Our "internal option" (Blackwood) self-combusted, and our "short term stopgaps" torpedoed the team.
Put a different way: I'd rather the team commit to Kahkonen for three (or four) years than Markstrom for two.
Let's pick a direction and go with it. Enough of this kicking the can business. Markstrom is nothing more than a stopgap himself - and one we'll have to pay for in assets and cap space. What's the point?
Going through that previously doesn't make grabbing Ullmark for 7 years a good decision.
Any decision will have good / bad results.
I do not want to bet on Ullmark for 7 years given his health issues
