Hard to blame KA for this one. Ullmark can't stay healthy, $5mil/yr is an overpayment IMO.
Sign some old vets until UPL, Levi, or Portillo show they're ready.
Yo...
Might be beneficial to wait for the dust to settle from FA before finalizing a deal for John.
At least one team (VGK, MIN, LA, etc) will be on the outside looking in once all the top names are signed.
Think of the vaccine as a seatbelt and you're driving through a dangerous stretch of highway. In most cases the seatbelt will save your life if you have an accident.
Think of a mask as a helmet. Now why would I need a helmet if I'm wearing a seatbelt? For most wearing a seatbelt is enough, but there's still a slim chance you may sustain a fatal head injury.
IMO Ullmark is better than average, it's his rash of injuries that concern me.
I'd be OK with him as 1A, but they desperately need a 1B behind him.... unless their goal is to tank, and if that's the case I expect them to bring Hutton back.
I believe UPL should stay in Roch and Power return to Michigan... but all that matters is what Terry wants, and I'm sure he'll want these guys in the lineup right off the bat, smh.
