Then you're really not paying attention.Serious? That is what people are saying.. I disagree with it strongly but the same people whining about no depth are whining we didn't give up four player assets + 2-3 picks for a player.
We have no strong top 6 players in the pipeline it is all bottom 6 or bottom pairing d-men.
With what San jose gave up, we absolutely could have exceeded it and been in no worse of shape.
Trading picks especially with McDonnel running things is more likely addition by subtraction anyway. They've drafted garbage outside of the 1 almost impossible to f*** up pick at 3, with pretty much every pick they've taken.
Gurianov is garbage, Honka is garbage, Tufte won't likely make the AHL, Dellandrea is another bottom 6 that has "Character"
Dickinson is garbage, Oettinger is a goalie, Nichushkin is another bottom 6 guy.
I mean how many of these failed draft picks and crap players do we need to stock pile?
If Klingberg gets injured for any significant time there is nobody to replace him.
If Seguin gets injured for any significant time, we have a better chance of finishing with the #1 draft pick than making the playoffs.
"depth" isn't the problem, high end depth is.
You absolutely cut into our treasurer trove of 3rd-4th liners to add another high end guy, it isn't rocket science
