I think it’s both. We were cursed by the hockey gods the moment Lucic ran Miller and it wasn't immediately addressed on the ice.

And "The Tank" as well. Former GM Darcy Regier warned, and I quote, "There will be pain...." 😩

many people here said trading Cozens was addition by subtraction. Well we subtracted a semi-highly touted young prospect & we subtracted $8m from the already lower salary cap our team works with. I've always failed to see where the addition part came from with this trade. Maybe adding more mistakes to the construction of your team isn't such a net positive afterall?

The truth is a team like ours is going to have a real hard time absorbing this. We only have so many assets to work with & we got rid of one for a bag of bricks that costs $8m per. There are no quick fixes & there may not even be one at all. At this point, i think we really need to think hard about trading Tuch, as opposed to extending him long term. And hopefully Norris can come back to play some sheltered minutes that allow us to trade him for something. That trade would be addition by subtraction imho. Because Norris is a dead weight to this team, an $8m per year dead weight. 

KA makes these moves as if he doesnt have a care in the world. Any GM fearful about his job, wouldn't have made this trade in the 1st place.

I at least am curious to see how the team responds in Boston. They could either bounce back & play a better game, or they could get beat down & bounced in embarrassing fashion. We'll have a better idea of the makeup of this team when its done i imagine.

There is some speculation that he might be done for the year, which I hope is incorrect 

By whom? Based on what information?

I feel bad for Norris, but the fumbling of this roster construction is again at the feet of the front office led by that goof Adams.  I'd rather see Östlund all year for the remainder.

Not pain.  Suffering.

Adams is a moron. Sorry not sorry.

Adams won a Stanley cup, he saw what it takes... That makes it even more mind boggling that he can't seem to get it....like at all.

To justify my hypothetical that won’t happen. I think a lot of success this season hinged on Norris working out. Since he is broke for a significant amount of time, shouldn’t the team be looking to acquire a player?

If we go a long time without a big piece to the offense we risk falling way behind in the standings. So why do that?
