Confirmed with Link: Seider signs (7 x $8.55m)

Any word on when he’s in NA?

Statistically they were dogshit together.

Also, the more I think about it, the more I circle back to this team needing to use those free agency bucks on a 2RD upgrade instead of on Tank and Kane. I get that Yzerman didn't want to commit long term money and spent on the short term for those guys, we have a gaping hole on right defense after Mo. I think it'll only be more evident this season.

Well we do know that he tried to get Trouba with salary retained from New York. I get that he needed a backup plan, but I do think when we talk about this that plays into the picture. I don't think Yzerman wanted to go term lengths on some of the guys like Roy wanted, he wanted to get a guy with less years in to fill that role in my opinion.

Mo is going to shoulder a ridiculous load until Edvinsson can help take some of it off of him. I hope for the teams sake that comes quickly.

I understand all that. But I don't understand why it isn't a good idea on TOP of all that.

Let's say that I snap my fingers and tomorrow both Seider and Edvinsson are top pairing caliber defensemen. This roster still needs another top 4 defensemen - both due to a lack of talent from the rest of the defense, and from a standpoint of team building. (If the lottery screwed you out of any chance at a Bedard/Hughes type forward, then lean further into building an amazing defense.)

I mean, who doesn't like a defense with Seider, Edvinsson, and Roy taking the heavy lifting, somebody like Chiarot serving as a bridge with lesser minutes as the kids learn, and all of Johansson, ASP, Wallinder, and Buium on their way to one degree or another?
