I mean, if they want Brassard gone THAT bad we should definitely oblige them. He doesn't even cost as much as Berglund did and his deal is done after this season.

Berglund being the player that Botterill told us he was would’ve been a game changer too.
Botterill was swindled, and got very lucky he gets a do-over in finding a 3C.
By the arc of his career, he should have still been a 30-35 pt guy who puts up 10-15 goals and handles some heavy defensive responsibilities. His advanced stats all looked fine up until this year.

Scandella is terrible so that's not really even a fleecing. I'd take Foligno back over him.

Fletcher now resides in Philly, think bigger
I would really like to get my hands on Lindblom.
Seems like there's something going on with him that isn't being shared. He's a shell of the player he was for us last year and for Minny before that.
It's like his head isn't in the game this year. I also thought he was such a smart Dman, now he's making dumb decisions.

I think he was more viewed as a piece to the puzzle. In no way would you consider a player who has never averaged more than 50 points in a season but once, a "game changer."

He was sold on ES goals if I remember correctly. Him and Sheary should add about 20 each. Tyrns out they need centremen for that.

I didn’t say he was acquired to fill ROR’s role. But he was acquired to take over his defensive responsibilities, and he wasn’t even able (willing?) to do that.

Does any of you have a dream add to the lineup?
I really hoped for Athanasiou before the season and it’s kind of sad he’s doing so well. Him with Sheary and Okposo would have been a decent 2nd line/great 3rd. But Detroit would never make a trade anyway.
I’d also like Myers back. Sort of full circle. Him on the third pair with McCabe would give us a good puck mover on each pairing.

Okay, my mistake, under that context, yes he definitely was meant to stabilize a weak (coming off last season) bottom six forward corp from a defensive fit.

One thing is certain in my view in any event. Someone is looking at Sobotka, the way Phil is playing him in multiple roles. That is the only explanation I have.

That’s not what the GM said.
If that’s the case, then he’s an awful GM, purposefully creating holes in the roster for no discernible reason.
