I thought it was a very fair assessment. If the chips fall where the front office expects them to this year, we are a better team than we were last year:
Eriksson > Seguin (for now)
Iginla > Jagr
Youth on the blueline ~= aging vets
Youth up front < loss of Horton and Pevs
I agree with the writer on the Seguin deal, namely that the bruins have to win in the next 1 to 3 years while they're still winning that deal, because after that Seguin will likely be the better player. If they don't "win now" with Eriksson, the trade will be a loss.
