Me fail the trade deadline? That's unpossible.

Unless they were going to go for Buch, I think anything else was a mistake so I am glad they stayed firm and added at the edges. They are vying for the Presidents Trophy. I don’t think Tyler Toffoli to the Jets stands in the way of the Cup run

B+. If we are going to trade first round picks and top prospects I’d rather they be dealt in the offseason as part of a package for a younger top 6 player or top 4 dman with term on their contract who we intend to be part of the future. Not for a deadline rental who will be gone at the end of the year.
I'm nice so I give Drury a solid B, accepting the idea that the real changes on D will have to wait until the offseason.
Yeah I'd say B...didn't give up a lot of assets, filled some holes and added depth, but the biggest issues with the team went unaddressed. However, I don't know that the trade deadline is the best time to try to fix those issues. It tends to be when prices are the highest and the odds of fixing all your problems are low. With what was out there, this is fine. The success or failure of the team will rely on it's major players to get it done and if they don't there will probably be a reshuffling in the offseason.
Lindgren and Trouba were never going to be dealt with in season, teams aren't going to upend things that much going into the home stretch

Kept the 1st and the top prospects. The D wasn’t changing at the deadline. Wennberg and Roslovic make the forward corps better and deeper.

Added the key depth to replace Chytil and Wheeler. Now they need their top guys, mainly Mika, to step up and carry the team with everyone being better slotted into roles.
B+.
I think as far as trying to address needs, they did so with our getting crazy.
Lindgren still exists though and that was/is the teams biggest pain point.

Solid B. 1 great trade, 1 good trade, one bad trade.
Roslovic deal was fantastic value and am really happy
Wennberg deal was fair value. Still satisfied.
Rewedal deal was trash. Drury got bent over.
But we addressed our top 2 needs overall. Which is important.
Still cant stand Drury. Haha

Feeling it
I give Drury a B+ for the deadline
Instantly became a B after not trading a first, big prospects or Kakko.
He finds two forwards and a depth D that are upgrades and deepens roster. Adds speed/skating and versatility.
But even spending big for a big name add doesn't guarantee anything. Vatrano and Patches wouldve been mistakes.
Everyone else available there was a good reason he couldnt get them. The plus is the players and the overall grade is the restraint.
I still think this team is good enough to get to the Conf Final with things breaking the right way and thats about it.
No big names helps the frail mentality of this core which I think is also a plus.

That was never happening. That’s like being mad they didn’t get Bedard. Grow up, Peter Pan.

Also, while we didn't do a ton, we also didn't trade a 3rd+ for Joel Edmundson or Andrew Peeke, or a 4th for Erik Johnson lmao

This is such a weird take. Drury got bent over by giving away a 4th round pick like 4 years from now? It's literally like a 7th rounder this year. It has almost zero value.
With Trouba out for a while, I think we could see a significant improvement in the D. I am excited to see what Schneider can do in an increased role.

I think Drury crushed it. Made a good move for all three of our concern areas, and never gave up much to do it.

Wenn will feel good, but not add much, tho we have to be grateful if he allows us any depth at all. Howev, end of the day he is waste of a 2nd
The others might be ok less for depth but more to actually rest up our regulars.

I like the idea of keeping out stuff, but on the other hand like all of our enemies made substantial upgrades especially Hurricanes and Panthers
I feel like this has been status quo for Drury the past few trade deadlines. Mostly pretty conservative. And I like it. This team isn’t one good piece away from being an instant contender.
Kane is the lone exception but he came so cheap it was too good to pass up.

Would have voted D if it was available. No stupid trades but horribly misread the market and did not identify that the defense was the biggest problem. Don’t think the assets that were traded were traded effectively. Think the ceiling is about the same as it was at the start of the season
