Well. there's that. The injury to Reinbacher looks dumb to me, like the guy didn't warm up at all. Maybe with more vets, you get a more serious preseason and less injury issues, but that's a big maybe. And the folks who were going to rely on Reinbacher breaking up are the same who made that horrifying preseason so...

If Barron is out, we need a vet from a waiver wire or from an AHL trade...
Think we can get Kovy back?
He's gone...
That’s not what I’m doing. Gorton took over 1/4 into that season. And the team was in a tank trajectory when he did where he had almost a full season of time to make moves. Why would that year be removed completely? I feel like people are leaving it out for the opposite reason you mentioned which is to make excuses for how long a rebuild should take.
Obscure reason? Macc is a good story and I like him as a player but it's quite clear why he's in the dog house. He's a massive risk taker and he's soft. He's not what the team needs.
K’Andre Miller came to mind, but then I searched it up and he’s a lefty.
Yup. To me rebuild starts when you hit rock bottom. Regardless of what happened prior to that.
Exactly, I see us being more competitive when Gallagher, Anderson, Armia, and Dvorak are gone. They literally bring nothing to the table. Anderson needs to start using his damn body…
To me, a rebuild begins when your forced to rip apart the core of a team and start over. We crashed out in 2018 with Bergevin, but instead of rebuilding then, he kept the nucleus of the team intact by keeping Price, Weber, Petry, Gallagher, etc. In 21/22, even tho Bergevin was desperate to save his job, his core was destroyed when Price and Weber were finished, and everyone else that was left was washed up. I don’t include guys like Suzuki and Caufield because they were young and not apart of the previous regime for very long. To me, that’s when the rebuild started even if it took a couple of months for Bergevin to get fired. It was in full swing when Gorton was hired in November that year.
Kovalev had some amazing hands but a slow 51 year old converted forward won't be much of an upgrade on David Savard.Well. there's that.

I don't know enough about Zegras and the fans here are divided on him. But if Hughes likes him, yes, his value is probably at a low right now. Again though, we would be giving up a kind of guy we can't replace.
