Nothing stopped us from having matty-JT-kadri down the middle other than the media running the brown guy out of town.
I'm not a huge JT guy but I don't see him as the day 1 anchor you do.
He should be a winger now, we should have upgraded 2LC already. Thats not on JT
That's an interesting take... I 100% guarantee not signing JT and signing Tanev and Hymen would have been viewed really poorly here.
We had shots at Stamkos, pieterangelo etc.
The end result wasn't what we wanted but the ability to go for it (with 7 years of increasing cap) wasn't a bad move.
This board used to be "big swings on elite talent and then fill in the roster" and now we are debating signing the only top FA to give us time over the last decade.
I'm sorry that a regular, non trump cult male who cares about people is so strange to you.
Therapy could help but might be a little too liberal for you.
Also how many people still technically have q family doc but it's an hour away (either the one they had as a kid and they live far away or vice versa).
