But Quincey wasn't a playoff rental. He was aquired for future season services when Stuart and Lidström are leaving. That also gave defensive depth for the 2012 season at same time. Why is this so hard to understand?
They traded for Quincey to replace Stuart half of a year earlier, because free agency does not guarantee anything. Trade gives you a guaranteed player, in this case RFA player.
Then they went after UFA Suter trying to replace Lidström. But like free agency does not guarantee anything, this later one didn't happen.
Pretty clear plan if you think a minute of it.
sorry buddy, but adding Q doesnt provide depth. With that logic, adding any defensemen must provide depth right? depth is players that actually do something, provide a spark, and are noticeable.
