Seriously head scratching stuff by this organization. The absolute bipolar identity continues.
Why keep Malkin and Letang prior to Dubas? Why bring in Dubas at all? Why sign Jarry/Graves to deals? Why Eller if not to be flipped for draft picks? Why trade Guentzel for a roster player instead of strictly draft picks?
The consensus by everyone including some of our genius media talking heads is a balance of win now and stock the cupboard - but outside of Karlsson and later Bunting - all the other moves are not 'win now' pieces at all. I get that Sullivan is hot trash at player evaluation but I mean - the contracts and targets we've had make zero sense.
Sell, or buy. Where in the hell does Hayes fit in? If we were straight tanking, sure. But the in between stuff? Taking on 2 years of him in the final hour of Sid/Geno is sort of disrespectful IF the goal is to win with those two. If it's not (how can anyone think it is with the marriage to Sullivan) - then why keep them? The best Sid is the Sid in pursuit of victory. Why even offer an extension? This team hasn't made sense in years. Strange addiction to keep I guess.
