Both Rielly and Ceci were supposed to be mid-march. You can't prepare for a defenseman going down every single game, much less the one defenseman that is most difficult to replace. There's only so much that it's reasonable to protect against.A month, which we knew before the TDL
Lol. Interesting way of making claims.If you can disprove I'm correct go for it but I feel pretty good about it right now
We don't have a defensive experience problem when healthy. No, I doubt they expected their best remaining defenseman to go down for the 2nd time this season in the game right after the trade deadline to a completely different fluke injury.We didn't foresee injuries or our lack of defensive experience which could be a problem?
It's not an example of what I wanted. They are not comparable situations at all. Shatternkirk was a declining player, he was a player in their biggest area of depth, he was stuck behind their two best defensemen they weren't getting rid of anytime soon, and Washington gave a stupid return for him, when St Louis was more out of it. Also, one example wouldn't make a trend.So an actual example of what you wanted doesn't fit now?
You have zero evidence of this.We didn't actively try to create a market
Negotiates good contracts.Can't negotiate a contract
Can't get trades right
Paralyzed when decisions need to be made
Makes good trades.
Doesn't panic and make stupid knee-jerk reactions to things.
Sounds like a good GM to me.
