Yes, we keep sheltering he will never develop fully. And how long is a bit? We bring in McDonagh and resign him then it's 5 years before he gets off the 3rd pair. We keep him protected too long and he turns into Koekkoek who never becomes anything close to what we hoped.
Hedman was playing top minutes at 19, he was getting tough assignments. Look at McAvoy who was drafted a few spots after Sergachev, he's getting top minutes and thriving. If we give Sergachev some actual responsibility he may show us we don't need McDonagh. I'm all for giving our guys a chance till it's apparent we need to find someone else. I want to see Sergachev and Koekkoek playing more and not McDonagh. I think we can win with them and we don't need a LD. On the right Dotchin sucks and Sustr is ok as a 6/7, I'm all for a fix on that side.
Thats very true, they could pan out, the might not. Maybe take McD for the 1.4 years and go all in with Serg, he'll be about 21 and maybe ready to roll.
I agree that we need help on the RD as well, We definitely need a top 4 RD, besides Stralman we don't have one. Karlsson would be nice but to expensive, if he rally wants to be in Tampa we'll try when he's a UFA.
