This is the least appealing package of them all. I don't want Laine, and personally Jones is not going to extend. Merzlikins is, an upgrade, but this is a terrible return. No center coming back, pass EASILY.
Barf. God, this was a SECOND ROUND PICK. This is why I'm pissed at this time. Inferior drafting and with the Pegula's in charge, it won't change. They are imbeciles, who want people who will "listen to them". Go to counseling Terry.
Zegras, Comtois, Lacombe, 1st, 2nd. Just throwing things out into space. That's a return I could live with. Some might prefer Drysdale over Comtois and I'm okay with that too.
A top center prospect, two good prospects, a serviceable roster player (not a cap dump), 1st in 2022 (preferred) and 2nd. That's my "hope". lol With Kevyn Adams at the helm: who knows.
I doubt it, if he was making the playoffs, then his main concern of "winning" would at least be pacified with the notion that we were a "semi contending team". Where his main issue, is that we haven't even scratched a "play in".
I'd do it, with a 2022 1st included instead of Gallagher. We can take on an expiring contract to cover $$. They won't want to give up their recently extended captain.
