Absofreakinlutely! That was a huge mistake. Cole gets his hands dirty, blocks shots, kills penalties, throws hits and has better offensive acumen then he gets credit for. And we really don't have an adequate replacement for him. Cole and Oleksiak were a solid and consistent bottom pair that played well beyond their respective skillsets. I still cannot believe they ripped that apart. This didn't need to happen. Because our defense currently is a mess!Just as the ripple effect of losing Letang last year changed the mix. The trade of Cole also has changed the mix. He was the most flexible in that he could play and play well with Schultz, Oleksiak and probably Ruhwedel. The facts are GMJR underestimated his warrior worth with Sullivan's BS playing Hunwick over him. Recall it was Cole who was on the ice on the 5-3 last year in the cup final game. Not Olli, not Dumo and not Schultz. Yet he is Bylsmad out of here. Costly and stupid.
