I’m remarkably unimpressed by the moves they’ve made now and for the future. I could be wrong, but I don’t think they’re a better team at all.How are they worse than last year? who did they lose off their roster that makes such a huge difference for this coming year?
Yes I agree long term not good moves but i'm talking about the next year or two.
Strome isn’t impressive to me. I’d rather get rid of his salary and sign or trade for a real #2 center.
Funny story about Drury.
My old GM from Toyota, Joe Catanese, played baseball with him in Trumbull. He was the catcher. I asked him about Drury and he went off. Hated him. Snobby spoiled kid that ignored his signs and threw what he wanted, where he wanted. He didn’t like Chris as a teammate or as a person.
I was surprised to hear this because Drury has always had a good reputation in the NHL.
He might. The big bad scary Russian is signed until 2022-2023LA Kings continue to stockpile C prospects. It seems like such an obvious strategy to me. Kudos to them.
Chibrikov won’t fall all the way to the Rangers will he?
Drury has a mandate to make the playoffs this year and we can't sit on our asses forever trying to rebuild. I'd also like an upgrade from Strome, but trading him away and praying to god that one becomes available at a reasonable price would be stupid as f***.
so myers, Hagg, Patrick, Voracek are better than Ellis, Risto, Atkinson? For one year I would take the latter easilyI’m remarkably unimpressed by the moves they’ve made now and for the future. I could be wrong, but I don’t think they’re a better team at all.
We pick at 65This is awful not having a pick until 80 watching Raty and Chibrokov continue to slide

I like those trades for filthadelphia. So I’m going to assume it makes them worse…so myers, Hagg, Patrick, Voracek are better than Ellis, Risto, Atkinson? For one year I would take the latter easily
I wouldn't mind Halak or Mrazek. Short term of course. That lower tier makes me wanna run for the hills.Raanta, Reimer, Mrazek, Bernier, Halak are all free agents. On a lower tier there is Hutton, Brossoit, Elliott etc. Plenty of competent guys.
And that was our pick....to get rid of Marc Staal.
With names like Chibrkov and Raty on the board.
Yeah, feeling a little salty.
Was worth it.
Not only did we not have to watch him flounder around and get minutes he didn't deserve, it also opened up an avenue for K'Andre to get minutes this year. That will benefit us in the long run.
