While they were good enough to win last nigh, I'm getting a kick out of watching the Canes down 2-0. That mgmt group really thinks they are the smartest ones in the room, that they can easily replace vets. The talent they have let walk is incredible and taking a team that good and well coached into the playoffs with Aho-Staal-Drury-KK down the middle is a huge wasted opportunity. And thinking Kuzy would slide right in was clearly a miss.
They essemtially replaced Trockek - a two way, 60 point, gutys C - with Kuznetsov and KK. Kuz was benched and KK played 9 minutes.
That owner is an idiot, and that window is going to close fast because they have subpar pro scouting, and their luck at the draft is going to run out. Looks good on them tbh.
