Joseph is very inconsistent. Moving a 3rd to dump him in a vacuum is fine. Especially considering that they needed to make changes to the room, and they didn't have the cap flexibility to do that. It's very clear that there was no market for Joseph.

Whether you want to argue that we didn't take advantage of that cap space, and that Perron, Ullmark, Amadio, and Jensen were not good additions, that is a different discussion.

Inconsistent offensively, but the rest of his game is remarkably consistent.

He brought an excellent effort level, above-average defensive play and tenacious forechecking every night, and he's a consistent generator of powerplay for his team by moving his feet and forcing the opposition to take penalties.

Even if he's only produces at his career average 30P/82GP he's worth about 3M a season for the rest of what he brings to the table. Definitely not worth dumping at the cost of a 3rd.

Kinda wierd he doesn’t get the “cup winner” treatment that so many other players do”

Well, he was able to stick with them and do well. Amadio was given the same opportunity and stunk to high heaven with Stutzle and in the top 6.
Come on man. Joseph had a very small stretch where he was better than Amadio but the vast majority of his time in Ottawa he was awful.

I don't think we are going to burn anything but we do need better thinking even to improve the team. TSN 1200 they were talking about trading a core peice down the middle for a defensemen. Why? We have seen multiple defensemen who can play bottom pair and move up to 2nd pair go for minimal assets
Because we need a top 4 RD. Zub when not injured has been bad.

Zub started the season looking excellent. Maybe better than ever. Sanderson too. Chabot too. And Kleven and jensen looked great.
JBD was looking good.

It has taken a bad turn.

Well, after the concussion, I agree, so two weeks of bad. I seem to recall this happened last time he got concussed too, came back and didn't look great for a while.

Hopefully he's back to his old self in the new year once his foot heals.

I wonder if we could get Ristolainen, we'll need a new whipping boy once Hamonic's contract expires, and he'd really fill the void left when Zaitsev was traded...

my favorite thing about Zaitsev was when DJ said “he has elite feet and an elite stick” and the entire fanbase was like “DJ Dmith smokes crack and is blind”

14. Drury is working to figure out what he actually can do, up and down the roster. Trade protection — limited or full — is a hurdle. Ottawa is being very careful about what it says, but I do think that’s a team the Rangers have talked to.
