Trippers got 50 different shades of lipstick for that pig.Looks like Adam Gold was right on this one..he said a few weeks back that they wouldn't really do anything significant.
It will be interesting to see how the spin doctoring goes in the coming weeks depending on how the Canes fare against the big boys. I don't envy Walt & co.

I will remind everyone in the Covid year the Rags swept us in the regular season, and in the play in series started noted Cane killer King Henrick.No moves made ya I’m upset but they did grab ghost who’s gonna help and let’s see how pulju fits in. But they got this far with what they have let’s just pray they win the metro and at least avoid the rangers first round
I kinda disagree. On the PP yes, but Tro wasn't really very productive 5v5 last year:Burns only makes up for losing Tony, while adding just a few more points. I also only think he’s marginally better defensively.
Necas makes up for Nino. We haven’t come close to replacing Tro, not just the score sheet as much as righty draws and general solid center play.
I’m really talking about the overall affect of his play. As you know the right sided draws are important and even if KK is strong in general we’d like to have a righty in the mix. I found Tro to be stronger on the puck, less careless with it, a more consistent passer, more experienced and smarter defensively, much stronger on both his stick and on his feet. It’s more than pts to me.I kinda disagree. On the PP yes, but Tro wasn't really very productive 5v5:
Last year 5v5: Tro 0.67 G/60, 1.87 P/60: most common line mates = Necas and Svech
This year 5v5: KK 0.68 G/60, 1.52 P.60: most common line mates = Svech and Necas
This year 5v5: Tro. 0.59 G/60, 1.98 P/60: Most common line mantes = Panarin, Vesey and Lafreniere
So 5v5, Tro has scored at an equal to or worse rate than KK. He's had a few more assists, but not substantial.
I get the "righty draws" comment, but KK has been good on draws and his and Tro's GA/60 are identical.

They do but I think at least 2 guys from Chicago will be up full time next year once Stastny and Stepan are gone. Pulju will likely take fast spotWe overvalue our own prospects and picks.
Which is odd because it's the exact opposite behavior from when Dundon took over. But I guess it's different when it's the picks and prospects you acquired rather than Francis
Ghost Bear 69 points in our final 23 games to get to 100 points for Norris. #niceEveryone saying we only made depth moves are gonna be feeling kinda silly when Pool Party is putting up a point per game alongside Aho

Maybe, but it might be they don't value guys like Bertuzzi and Domi as much as fans do.We overvalue our own prospects and picks.

How’s it a bad deal? This is a guy that’s a 40-50 point player who’s scored 20 goals twice and 30 once. Paying a late first and a 4th for a proven 20 goal scorer and a guy that isn’t afraid to mix it up and get under people’s skin seems like an easy decision imo. We likely won’t even see this first round pick play (if he does) for 3-4 years.Not willing to pay a first for Bertuzzi isn’t overvaluing your stuff it’s knowing when you are making a bad deal

Now look at his scoring this year and understand rental prices are based on this yearHow’s it a bad deal? This is a guy that’s a 40-50 point player who’s scored 20 goals twice and 30 once.
