Look at what LA did with their goalie situation. By no means is Rob Blake a smart GM, but he’s not a moron.
He saw the same mediocre group of goalies available and said well, we’ll just sign a couple of these idiots for 1 year because we literally have to.
Maybe a trade will become available later in the summer or midseason. Maybe one of those idiots will somehow do what goalies do and randomly become good for a bit.
However, they didn’t **** the bed by signing a crappy goalie for 5 years because “who else is better right now!????????”
Dubas is a fool.
I'm maybe not quite as wound up as some about Jarry. Though I don't like it.
But yeah... I wonder why Pens fans are so utterly adverse to the idea of just trying out some one year stopgap solution and allocate the dollars to either a much better bottom six, impact skaters or even both instead? Just tossing your hands up and saying "here ya go guy who has never done anything meaningful, has in fact sharted his crease several times and has possible injury concerns... here's 27 million dollars over 5 years" seems like arguably a worse gamble.
