Hey Nashville, we'd like a refund, the player you traded us is broken!
To be fair, our affiliate the New York Rangers could've traded us Lindback and it wouldn't have mattered.All Nashville trades are cursed. Remember they screwed us over with Lindback too
I think the 2022 Cup Final loss was the end of the Cup era, as that felt like our last great shot considering we still had Palat and McDonagh. The 2022-23 season, we weren't true Cup contenders IMHO with the way we played in the 2023 calendar year and should have just value bought if the plan was to buy at the deadline.What is the actual point of tradng for Jeannot and give him a raise for 2.665 million per year if he is going to fight people, hurt people with body, or score goals? It was the end of a lighnting era.
Should've kept Bogosian and Maroon. Leadership from those two vets who played their roles was deeply missed. Two small moves like that bit us in the ass. Jeannot did not replace Maroon - at all. Dumba/Perbix with the minor league RD carousel were no better than Bogo. JBB didn't even have replacements for 4th line and depth players and fumbled those moves.Should’ve kept Maroon and all the picks lol.
Yep. Should have kept Maroon, Perry, and Bogo before signing Sheary,Fleury,Dehann,or trading for Jeannot. Guy is useless for the team when he isn't punching someone with his fist. He isn't even a deterrent for the rat panthers to try to break kcherovs neck. Did anyone see Jeannot pummel Montour or a panther's player to answer for that? Did Jeannot send a message to the panthers, nhl, and refs after two questionable goals taken back and go pummel someone? No he did nothing.Should’ve kept Maroon and all the picks lol.

Jeannot didn't stop them or deter them is the issue.What if the coach don't like them? I mean who is the one to decide it, GM or coach? I always like Shenn and the coach never use him, he show can play in the league, perfect season last year with Vancouver, decent season with Predators and here he always was the 7th D. Shenn was more serviceable than Bogo but Cooper kill him. We lost all the toughness and physical play, those stupid Cats do what they want with us.
I don't care TJ, I defend the situation of a player who play 7/8 minutes, one day is scratch, one day play PP, the other in 4th line and people pretend was the only one to send a message. I don't know, we lost a lot of key pieces to blame only one. I wish he can be dealt and have a great season in other team. Too much debate here for him thanks to the GM.Jeannot didn't stop them or deter them is the issue.
If we used those assets to trade for a top 4 defenseman or actually top 6 winger we would be a much better team. Also he is a complete waste of 2.665 million salary. Watson makes 725k and brought more to the team for less than 1/3 the cost.I don't care TJ, I defend the situation of a player who play 7/8 minutes, one day is scratch, one day play PP, the other in 4th line and people pretend was the only one to send a message.

That first round is like 60% of Jeannot.Not going to happen, but we could trade for our 1st round pick back from Nashville and then go all in on a rebuild.
Of course, their GM isn't an idiot and will demand actual quality in return.
I mentioned this at the deadline. This is the biggest gaffe looming over JBB because he handcuffed us at the TDL this year. We had nothing to give up to solidify a weak spot. These are the kind of moves that get GMs canned. Another one of these, to this magnitude, and he absolutely has to go. I would expect him to be conservative to offset this bullshittery, but it's too late for that. 75 regular season games in, the player is nothing more than a UFA minimum league signing. The assets are gone. At the expense of five picks and 2.65M on the books.Is it just me or is this trade just continuing to hurt us? I'm just thinking, how do you improve a team without assets? And then you look to where 5 assets went. Granted, they weren't all overly valuable, but it's not like we need another Kucherov or Point. We need to fill out the bottom six with quality NHLers.
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if we'd been drafting well for the past 3 or 4 years, but we really don't have any sure-fire impact players on the way up.
This trade might really be the one we look at if it comes time to part ways with JBB. We seriously just handed over five assets and more/less for free.
