Q isn't the guy who put this roster together
Q didn't trade for worthless garbage like Rundblad and Erixon ,, If Hawks fail this year its more on Stan
Rundblad is obviously the better option over Roszival, regardless of whether you look at production or possession. There is literally no stat available that favors Slowzival. Q's loyalty to his AARP buddy precludes him from actually icing the best D corps available to him, sadly.
Erixon is a question mark. Nobody really knows how he would play in this system, because he was never even given a real look. More than that, he was only brought in because Morin wised up the fact that he would never get a legitimate shot under the senile mustache, and demanded a trade. Stan was put in a bad position by his obstinate coach and was forced to deal from a position of weakness. He traded for a D asset because D is what we needed, and Q did his Q thing by forming an immediate first impression based on pretty much nothing and sticking to it.
Q's decision to continue playing Shaw at 3C is just another example of his ridiculous favoritism kneecapping a potentially strong roster.
Stan is smart enough to know how this works. The coach takes the first bullet when the team fails to perform up to expectations.
Let Q seal his own fate, then bring in somebody with the brains to run this outfit properly.
"If cap goes up a few million to 69". The cap IS 69 this year.
