My goodness how things have changed in the last 5 days with playoff hopes. Scoreboard has been cruel, players injured, no trades and teams around them all got better.
I will hope for the best but all of a sudden, playoffs seem like a distant memory.
I think at this point I would rather get a bandaid goalie for 6 weeks to see if we can sneak in this year. A homerun swing for multiple defensemen is not happening so let's roll the dice and hope some other goalie can come in here and steal enough points to get us past Pitt, Isle, Florida and Ottawa.
Our defense is an absolute trainwreck right. I changed my mind on the deadline and if admen like Chych doesnโt come around very often, we should probably take a swing at it. Would a 1st, top 3 prospect and a player get it done?
There is nothing that could help this defense out of the black hole that they are in. There is no sense in making any trades or moves until the summer. The defense is just too bad to fix at the deadline.
I donโt quite understand why some of these Eastern conference teams are giving so much of their future in a year where there is so much fire power, and the chances to win the Cup are slim.
