Jake Allen revenge game coming up.

Feels like a mistake by HuGo. Not catastrophic, but still.

he is older and face it, letting Barron go is acknowledgement that they fucked up in the trade

He doesn’t have Barron’s upside, but then again, Barron might not either.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Agree with all that.

But he is steady, if unspectacular. And given the “high event” profile of a lot of our D, maybe he should have hung around for another year.

So to hide their mistake, they made another one.

he was a waiver type player , find another one

Does any fanbase cry over the loss of bottom 6 forwards like Lehkonen or 3rd pair defensemen like Kovasevic more than this one?

The world is lousy with bottom 6 guys and 5-6 d men. If you need one they're easy to find.

I'm sure wehave did not mean Barron

It's not about Barron, it's about crying over Lehkonen as if he was the difference between winning and losing.

when you want to rebuild, it is important to make as few mistakes as possible. So far the Newhook, Lehkonen trades are looking like major mistakes

I don’t see those as major mistakes. Yes the returns have been underwhelming so far but the cost wasn’t that great either. You take shots, sometimes you miss but you’re going to be judged by your home runs. In all fairness to Hugo, we haven’t seen any home runs yet.

there is a greater likelihood the 1st we traded for Newhook will end up better than Newhook.

Its all about calculated risks and timing

Lek had to go , team was headed for a tear down and a 35+ point player soon to be an UFA looking for money is a non starer and just adds another fucked up contract on the cap

Dont look at his AVS production playing with stars , not happening with us .

Return was more than fair , a second plus a near ready decent RHS D

Dach you make that deal 7 days a week , and hope it works

Newhook , was not enamored with the deal but I understood the logic

Get a 21-22 year old with some skill and maybe a change of scenery was what he needed

He has been a bust so far but 40-50 points was a reasonable expectation

Or a bust like him
