I don't think he's as worried about the defence as the media and fans are.StCapps wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 12:46 amSo piss away the early window because he's too afraid to make a move, and wants to act like the smartest guy in the room? That's not terribly encouraging, if he wanted to do that, he shouldn't have signed Tavares.Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 12:43 amI don't think Dubeezus thinks like that.
I think he will probably keep Kadri and just keep developing internally.
I don't think he thinks like he has to make big splashy blockbuster trades.
I think Dubeezus wants to be the smartest guy in the room who develops his own players who other teams wish they had.
I don't see him going out and spending tons of assets to get somebody elses top pairing defensemen.
I don't think teams trade those guys anyways, unless it's a rental.
Top pairing Dman with term, traded for an aging Kadri?
I don't see it. What Dman are you going to get for Kadri?
It's not going to be a real deal top pair guy, Kadri is not worth that.
If you want a top pair guy, that would cost Nylander.
