Next to zero, they lost a second round pick on Grabner, an overseas guy (Rykov) who flopped and a mid rounder on Marroon but that’s a price I pay every time…we quite possibly lost less that deadline than Fitz burned in this one trade lmao
Since 2015
Tampa Bay has shown that NHL fans sometimes forget theres another draft worth of picks to be had every offseason
And now go back and tell me which of those teams at the player's 21yo season had a defense that was ranked 2nd in the league without said high draft pick
I was fine with your post until I inserted "supercalifragalisticexpiolodocious" into it so thanks for that.
No, thats not true
In retrospect you'd obviously rather have Cooley right now but that whole draft looks underwhelming at this point. It could change, but is Lane Hutson really going to be the best defender in that draft? that's pretty mediocre. Hopefully Nemec rounds out his game. He looked pretty good at times last season.
It's not a matter of "rushed". It's a matter of not being good enough to be here. I think that's a problem D+3 for a former #2OA
That is not at all what happened lol
Im not saying i really want this but
Nemec was starter already as 19 yo player. He wasnt this season because he was injured and team was loaded. You can pencil off this part of the conversation. Now he is in the roster again.
Okay, than we can ask something from them. Or just live with this 7 millions. But there were some incidents when ex sabres is starting playing better outside from sabres. On the other hand there were incedents when they really dont. So Fitz should think twice.
If they grab Cozens itll be at his full price, which is fine considering the odds he remains a 40pt players are very slim
He was so hurt they allowed him 9 games to lose a spot to start the season and then missed no time in Utica.
Nemec has been an injury call up twice. Meaning when healthy there are better options.
you are really going to argue that guys don't play hurt at times and that it might impact 20 year old more? Did you go to Facebook Med with Blackwood? It's more likely in your view his talent just evaporated at his age? No question he was bad and was bad in Utica until later in December. Some of it to me seemed systemic some seemed to be on him and some I could easily see as secondary to playing hurt. To be fair maybe he is just that bad. We will see.
