Well obviously. But just trading assets for other veteran slop on a rebuilding team is dumb. The Laine trade was a good strategic one . . . in theory.

my issue is more that he has done little to clear out the shit on the roster, if we are to lose/not win 8 of 10, I would prefer it not be with 17 40 28 55 30 on the ice.

Makar, Hedman, Josi, Fox, Hughes, Heisakanem, McAvoy…
Those guys. Robinson, Harvey, Chelios, Savard, Lapointe, Markov, Bourque, Orr, Lidstrom, Niedermayer, Chara, Weber, Coffey, Stevens, etc…
40 and 28 are almost gone. 17 is almost impossible to trade due to his contract and rapidly declining play. 55 rarely plays.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
We need quality depth, not Bergevin type depth.

Not sure what’s your point?
Hugo has done a good job clearing trash , team had too much junk to offload with term
This year expiring contracts will be moved

Not playing around anymore.
Meaning D men are hit or miss up and down the draft and are really hard to gauge. Even after they’re drafted. We will get our guys from within. There are a couple that will pan out. No team will trade a solid D, even with cap hit issues, they’ll always trade the question marks and then it becomes like the draft, only with more data behind it.

We’ll see, there is always a few ones available every summer. I’d be shocked if we don’t add a vet.
