Keeping Green and signing Vanek is going to give the young guys a little bit of skill to play with while being bottom 5 and then gain another pick at the deadline.
The kids don't have any skill to play with, currently? Is that not why Nielsen, Abbie, Helm, Glendening, Ericsson, Daley, DDK, Z, Kronwall, and Nyquist (however long the last three are here for) are still on the team? How many mediocre-to-bad vets does this team need to prop up the kids?
Do people really want a defense that relies on someone like Jensen or Kronwall to be trying to move the puck to Larkin, Mantha, Zadina and Rasmussen? How are they going to develop if they have literally no one that can move the puck? Green isnt great anymore but the guy can still skate and move the puck adnd has some offensive awareness
How often do you think Green is going to be playing with Larkin, Mantha, Zadina and Ras? Given that they're going to spend substantial time with guys who aren't Mike "Some Offensive Awareness" Green, they're still going to be subjected to guys like Jensen and Kronwall. Is their development forever stunted, now?
This is ridiculous. At some point, the team has enough veteran "leadership" or "Winning Culture(tm)" and y'all ought to consider what might happen if it had playing space/time for "actual talent".
We were 3 points out of the bottom 3. With Green. Keeping the team steady means a bounce or two away from the last 2-3 spots.
So it's your view that literally none of our kids will improve. Got it.
