It is clear the Devils need another impact NHL defenseman. Who fits the bill the best? My picks are Yandle or Goligoski - whoever would come at better price/term
I don't know if we necessarily need another defenseman, but I'd certainly like to bring Goligoski in.
Yup there is no need. It is more of a luxury item.
And I'm not sure the timing makes much sense to be honest.
No question you can sure-up the defense by adding another solid defender, especially on the left side...But we were 8th in the league in Goals Against last season.
Why do we want to add what would be a very expensive 30+ year old defender, probably at the expense of some of our young players development? So we can be 6th in the league in Goals Against? Come on now...I'm not not even commenting on Goligoski's play...It just doesn't seem like a smart move to write a check for what is going to be well over 5 million per and probably for 4 or 5 years to get that UFA...
It sort of reminds me of how I "needed" a new fishing reel last month.
when forwards score, defensemen score.
