No they did not
Ladd acquisition meant Shaw was moving to 3rd line and Kruger was expected back before playoffs thus another player strengthening our bottom 6
Hawks 3rd line was an issue last year because Stanley hurt team badly when he created the 1st line LW hole that was problem all year and forced Shaw's/TT/etc to be tried in that role
If not for the god awful Flash/Weise deal the Hawks could have fielded a bottom 6 come playoff time that included
Shaw-Kruger-TT
Desi-Danault-Panik
Would have been fine as a bottom 6 unit
You can't even put together proper lines.
TT-Danualt-Panik would be the line you should have listed but Q did not like Panik and Danualt was a black hole offensively last year. It is amazing how you forget these facts (it is not really that surprising I lied).
Shaw-Kruger-Desi is the defensive line that Q uses and has used for a while. Again you miss.
TT should have been paired with Flash and DW on the bottom 6 non-shutdown line.
Flash provided a player that could be moved up and down the lineup while playing responsible D. DW was a north-south aggressive player who goes to the net and actually has a decent shot. He performed this same role in Montreal and was a solid player. These are obvious concepts you don't understand.
Danault is a solid player but his loss is not that big of a deal. Moose is proving to be a solid prospect that could possibly replace Kruger long term. The 2nd round pick is the part of the trade that I considered over payment. I think Stan should have moved a 3rd-4th round pick and not a 2nd.
The trade did not workout because the players did not play up to expectations and Q did not like DW (for no reason and played Mashinter). There was a slight over payment in the pick (a round or two early).
It is so obvious that you don't have much to grab onto this year with your agenda so this is all you got. It is amazing how you have gotten very quiet with the prospects and signings all turning out solid. Your "he drafts poorly" agenda is looking even more uninformed than before...hilarious.
