Don't expect big moves either. I do expect moves to upgrade our defense/goaltending. Could see players like VO or Girgenson being moved if one considers that a big move.
Okay, I may be in the minority on here but I've felt that our odds of making the playoffs even in recent weeks to be maybe 30-35%. So I personally wouldn't be buying now. So, yes I'm for waiting at this particular time until off season.
Yes, but if you don't think trade deadline is the time to address shortcomings then you may not be opposed to what KA is doing. Guess I'm in that boat. Let's see what happens draft time and off season.
Could we have matched that? Sure. The thing that concerns me about free agents and players on the trade block is that it seems to me the longer it goes and the more a player is talked about often time he becomes more valuable in peoples eyes. So, now it looks like a good deal because of what we were told the price was to begin with. Truth is we are not on the inside on these things.
Yes, except we still have inadequate goaltending and forwards who don't defend or a structure that is not working. Unless the asking price is way lower than we're hearing.
This action so far is once again showing why you don't, if at all possible, use trade deadlines and free agency to advance your team. Prices are ridiculous and more times than not you get taken.
