Oh, I think it's terrible that they didn't do the side deals. Their team is wonky. Francis was reportedly asking for the moon throughout the entire process. I'm just assuming that they have things in the fire to even it out. But they still lost value without the side deals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a massive L for Seattle. I really hope their strategy was to try and hold cap strapped teams hostage and every GM just tells them to F off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 They have to have some defense for offense swaps down the pipe. If they don't, they are in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But damn, they need scoring in the worst way Their forward group is pretty piss poor IMO. A few top 6 guys but Gourde will be out of place on a 1st line, Jarnkrok isn't a top 6 C despite what Nashville tried with him, McCann and Donskoi are more or less 2nd liners at their best but will be played up because of the current lack of talent. McCann is a legit 2nd liner but he's their 1st line LW right now and Donskoi is more middle 6 than he is top 6. Yeah, this group may have some promise down the line but it's severely lacking right now. Loading up on LHD just seems stupid to me. Especially when it's getting harder to find top 4 RHD. Just overcompensated and it's going to cost them if they don't flip them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
