2 Minute Minor
Hi Keeba!
To be fair, I've heard a number of rumors that Spezza wouldn't waive his NTC for us, I still think Anisimov is a 2C/3C tweener away from Kane, The Avs probably had no interest trading O'Reilly in-division, and Zibanejad/Brassard were traded for each other.
I'd add an asterisk to Galchenyuk as well, because I don't think Montreal is sold on him yet. It is so freaking hard to get a legit 1C/2C tweener outside of the draft.
The Stastny signing really was critical for this team. Even though we'd love to have a guy better than that, he is in a position of need. Its also the reason that Armstrong took a chance and re-signed Lehtera to the optimistic (and now painful) deal that he did.
