So we arent patient because we want the bottom 6 to improve? We arent patient because we want centers that can win faceoffs and we do not have center depth in the organization, so you know, we gotta go out and find it? We arent patient because while we ARE playing our kids and watching them improve, it would be nice to add to the group to fill holes so that these young kids can grow AND win games at the same time?
Get out of here with that nonsense. The kids are playing. They are getting their experience. That doesnt mean we should sit idle and not improve the team around them. We have a center that can win faceoffs consistently and our record is likely 4-4-1 at minimum right now. That is a monumental difference in this division where you are playing the same teams 8 times each. While Rooney, Blackwell, and PDG have all played well for who they are and they have brought energy, they are not kids and they can certainly be upgraded if the opportunity presented itself. This team has been in every game. They should be looking to fix the holes that have been the difference in those games. That includes the 3rd pair defensively.
