lol, BM dont even have a leash. Ted trusts his GM. And why shouldnt he, MacLellan has done good job. One of his achievements, to bring a cup to DC.
Look how long McPhee was here for doing worse job.
And, last offseason is A+ for MacLellan from my view. We added Chara and Sheary, both have been great fits. We added Lundqvist and Anderson, both were a need at the time. We kept Dillon, which I perfectly understand and approve. And the most obvious, replacing Reirden with Laviolette. Why would his "leash" be getting shorter? All the moves were logical for the team structure and window of success, aswell as have worked out great since we are still leading our division and hanging in the top5 of the league.
Only thing I hope from BM is to be a little more bold for trading high draft picks. Generally I just dont see our future much differently if we have the 25th pick for years 2021 and 2022 vs, not having them. But obviously cant be overly critical on that since we have no idea what kind of action actually goes through his table. Trading picks just for trading, if the fit isnt really there, would be bad too.
The 4-year specials are whatever. Hagelin, Panik, Dillon, Jensen. Those are not contracts or players that our team is sinking with, but all play a big part on how our team comes out. BM saves cap by signing them long term and thats fine, if you need to get rid of Panik or Dillon or Hagelin at one point its likely not going to be that big of a problem. You can use the picks. And theres the potential homerun-equity on a 4-year cheapish deal too.
BM has always been active in filling holes and adding depth. Some hits and some misses. I like it. McPhee's "i like our team" was not just boring, but also didnt work. Although oddly enough for this TDL im strongly falling into the McPhee-territory and hoping we dont do anything
Our D has enormous depth with TvR, Siege and even Fehervary and LaDue and Alexeyev on the ranks. Our goalies are doing good enough so there isnt a sure-thing update on the market. Our offence wont change all that much for getting another depth guy. I might be interested in Haula, but as he is Finnish its not gonna happen. Do we really want to move Panik for another similar third liner, with the cost it will take from us? Do we go out big and try to find update for Vrana? Nah, just roll what we have.
