Not going to lie, didn't get what we set out to acheive this deadline. When we traded Hamonic for Hoffman it was because we loved the value and thought we could find a top-4 replacement. Despite many talks, nothing ended up working out this time around and we will pursue this in the offseason.
Adding Silfverberg is a move that we feel gives us an elite shutdown line that can match up against any line in the playoffs.
We were also looking to add a goalie but between a tight cap and Smith being virtually unmovable, we couldn't find a fit. Hopefully Rittich can carry his good play into the playoffs.
Still one of the best forward groups in the league, a solid mix of talented young and vet defensemen and in a weak division. We hope we can make a surprise run.
