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”

what could go wrong.
Too much group think. We need a GM with some quality experience and we need to improve the scouting
This team is so much better than previous years. The big weakness coming into the season was RD and it’s proven to be our Achilles heel. I think this team as constructed is a bubble team.

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.
