Yeah the fact that Carolina had so many decent prospects and we walked away with like their 5th best one annoyed me. Bunting seems fine, fits the net front role better than Jake on the top PP, but I'm not confident he's gonna keep up his pace either.I never bought into the "haul" idea one way or the other since he was a rental. But it woulda been cool to score one of their top five prospects or a first, at least. I want to be excited about Bunting next season but I dunno... he seems like the kinda player we've seen here before that comes in with a bang and then follows it up with a big, swampy, extended wet fart. I'll be very happy to be wrong on that front though as a late-season Bunting extrapolated over the course of all next year would make things a lot more watchable.
I'm fine with Hayes for an earlier 2nd. I'm fine with schlubs on one year deals for dirt cheap. I'm happy dumping Smith for something. I'd be happier if they didn't re-sign Petts, and found a way to dump Graves, Jarry and Rakell--all the while preparing themselves for the tearful goodbye of Rust next summer the second his NTC is up.
But one move at a time I guess. Doubt I'll get all my wishes.
