We're firmly entrenched in the window and have committed money. The actual thoughtful planning of the top 6 doesn't come until the next roster generation turns over. Right now, Drury is trying his best to make Lego pieces fit with Mattel blocks.
To be fair, we did the same lol
It's not terrible or necessarily bad. But what's the bigger plan with our forward lines? Are we really going to go back into the playoffs with the kid line being our checking unit? I mean Wheeler is a big body and has been a good player for years, but I don't totally know if this is helping us construct lines that have defined roles. But really, that issue pre-exists. So, I'm complaining about that problem moreso than Wheeler himself. He's not a bad player,. he is older and his durability, footspeed, etc will be a question.
Ping me in like an hour. Let’s see how some of these salaries shake out. They could have tried to get McLeod out of NJ. He does a lot of the things the Rangers are bad at. Connor Brown I liked but he was always going to Edmonton
He’s just building suspense, even I didn’t think he was this committed to the bit.
I hear that. I totally hear that. I think though that something can change next off-season. The lack of cap space is making it hard to make bigger moves that could alter the top 6 construction. (i'm ignoring the NTCs and NMCs)
