That was last night at the game.In before the **** show
This guy is a stud and far better than Leighton:First, yes a 7th round pick is really nothing, but did we have to give up the pick when we could have just signed Leighton?
Second, the optics of this do look bad. I guess credit for finally getting another pro level goalie in the organization, but it really does look like they thought they could get away without one until they saw DiPietro get lit up last night. Incompetent management.
Price for a depth goalie has clearly gone up in lieu of the Canucks situation. An example of why competent management needs to be proactive rather than reactive.Would have just preferred "future considerations" or something. Couldn't they have just signed some unattached AHL guy?

JB kept his promise of not trading a 2019 pick. Honest Jim.895 SVP in the NHL in 31 games.
Again, it's a nothing trade but at least we aren't in a position to further embarrass a junior aged goalie who's clearly not ready for the NHL.

The move literally wasn't made until the worst case scenario arose and they had to face the wrath of the Smylosphere.Second, the optics of this do look bad.
